Bryce Harper had an unlikely source of motivation go deep on Tuesday — a local radio caller.

Chuck in Mt. Airy is a popular caller to WIP in Philadelphia, and even the $330 million, two-time MVP knows of him.

Chuck called in to Jon Marks and Ike Reese on Tuesday, hours before Harper's Philadelphia Phillies took on the Los Angeles Angels, and his call got the attention of Harper.

"It’s funny, I was driving in today and I’m listening to WIP like I do a lot in the 2 o'clock hour," Harper told reporters after the game. "A guy named Chuck called in, and he calls in a lot. He’s hilarious. He was talking about our team and talking about me and stuff. 

"I walked in the training room, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna go deep tonight for Chuck.’ That guy had me fired up, man."

"Bryce Harper, listen man… I'm gonna shake that man's hand one day. He's one of the best," Chuck in Mt. Airy said during his call. "If he's listening, listen man. Bryce, get your ass down [to] Chickie’s & Pete’s whenever you get a chance, man, and come meet me, and come meet the people that love you. Because you are the man, and we go where Bryce Harper goes."
