Harper uses '100' emoji bat during game

If there were ever a player who personified the "100" emoji, it's Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper.

Now, he's got the bats to prove it.

The reigning NL MVP showed off the new decals Monday ahead of Washington's series opener against Atlanta at Nationals Park, where the 23-year-old phenom was looking to notch his - you guessed it - 100th career home run.

Though Major League Baseball told teams during the winter meetings that personalized bat decals were no longer permitted, baseball's fun ambassador apparently didn't get the memo.

Harper's "100" bat didn't help him collect a hit - or the milestone home run - but the Nationals outfielder did steal two bases, one of them with batting gloves in his mouth.
