Nats fans, don't read this . . . . . . . . . . . . . Phillies fans.............. here's more Bryce content
Phillies fans really made their presence felt at Nationals Park on Tuesday night. About 400 of them traveled down together to support Bryce Harper. By Sam Fortier Sam Fortier Email Bio April 3 at 11:12 AM Listen, Mario Rossi was saying, Washington wouldn’t have done all this if the roles were reversed. The 42-year-old, who grew up in Far Northeast Philadelphia and became a city cop, sat up straight in his seat.
“It’s worth [taking off work] because this is fun,” said Todd Murter, a medical supplies delivery driver who’d prefer to be called “Todd from South Philly,” his moniker on sports radio WIP. “We weren’t excited about signing Bryce because of wins and losses. He’s made baseball in Philly fun again. I went to the ballpark last year, 10,000 empty seats when we were in first place.”
There exists, for the fans in the bus’ carpeted seats, a line between their feelings in 2011 and this season. Harper’s career itself has become the bridge between the greatest era in Phillies history and its most ambitious. With the 4-0 start, with the title of “the last undefeated team in baseball” they’d mock if it belonged to anyone else, with the play of Rhys Hoskins and Aaron Nola and Jake Arrieta and Maikel Franco and especially Harper, the Phillies became can’t-miss again.
“We’re blue-collar, we work Monday through Friday, 50-hour weeks,” he said. “We need the Eagles to win on Sunday to start our week right. We need the Phillies to win because Philly sports are what we do outside of hard work. This is our escape and we’re passionate about it.” Harper impressed fans with his comments about local hospitals and schools during his introductory news conference, his decision not to wear No. 34, Roy Halladay’s number, even though he could have, and his immediate buy-in. The Phillie Phanatic cleats, the secret handshakes, the crowd interaction all assured them Harper meant it.
