The Truth Shall Set You Free...or So Cole Hamels Thought

When asked about it after the game, he admitted he had done it on purpose. His reward for telling the truth? A 5-game suspension from Major League Baseball.

Maybe he shouldn't have been so honest. Or quite frankly, maybe he shouldn't have hit Bryce Harper in the first place...
