Bryce Harper Got Emotional After Game 3 Win While Talking About How Much He Loves Playing for the Phillies

Bryce Harper Phillies

After another monster playoff performance Wednesday night, Bryce Harper got emotional talking about his love for playing with the Phillies.

Harper hit two home runs in a 10–2 victory over the Braves in front of a raucous home crowd in Philadelphia, moving his tally to three homers for the series. His performance, particularly after he made the last out on the basepaths in a gutting Game 2 loss, received plenty of appreciation from Phillies fans, and Harper took notice postgame.

“I love this place,” Harper said, almost seeming choked up at one point. “There’s nothing like coming into [Citizens Bank Park] and playing in front of these fans. Blue-collar mentality, tough, fighting every single day. I get chills, man. I get so fired up… I signed here for a reason, to do everything I could to bring back a trophy to this town, to [owner John Middleton], to this organization.”

Chills.

If Harper hadn’t already fully endeared himself to the Phillies faithful before, that speech certainly pushed him over the top. Fans everywhere loved it.
