Bryce Harper Expresses himself After Philadelphia Phillies Win National League East
Bryce Harper was thrilled after leading the Philadelphia Phillies to their first division title since 2011.
On Monday night, the Phillies took a significant step toward their goal of a World Series by clinching the National League East. However, for this veteran team, this accomplishment is just the beginning of their journey.
Celebrating their first division win in over a decade is important. True to Philadelphia’s spirit, the team celebrated in style, which was well-deserved.
At the start of the season, expectations were high for the Phillies to win the division, and they lived up to that potential. Despite this, it doesn’t lessen the achievement, as it’s a tough feat to accomplish.
Superstar Bryce Harper emphasized the challenge of winning the National League East. “This is what you work for all year,” he stated to NBC Sports Philadelphia. He pointed out that this division is the hardest to win, filled with talented teams and players.
Having played his entire career in the NL East, starting with the Washington Nationals, Harper is well aware of the division’s challenges. While the Phillies benefitted from some injuries to competitors like the Atlanta Braves, he noted that injuries are part of the game.
This is an exhilarating time for the franchise, especially after narrowly missing out on success the past two seasons, being eliminated in the NLCS in 2023 and the World Series in 2022. The ultimate goal now is to win the World Series.
As they prepare for October, the Phillies look strong based on their performance throughout the season, positioning them as favorites for the postseason. However, they know that past performances do not guarantee success.
For now, celebrations will continue, with hopes for a grand celebration on Broad Street by the end of the season, as the fans certainly deserve it!
