Daily News | Bryce Harper: ‘I wish I started my career’ with the Phillies
“I have so much emotion toward it, because it’s just, I absolutely frickin’ love it,” Harper said. “I don’t want to play anywhere else. I wish I started my career here, just the way it is and how lucky we are to do this.”
Turner, in the midst of the worst slump of his career, began receiving standing ovations from Phillies fans during his plate appearances as a show of encouragement. Turner, who signed a $300 million deal in the offseason, answered the fans’ calls withPhillies fans have a reputation for being some of the toughest to play for.
Bohm quickly made his way back into Phillies’ fans good graces. He got his own standing ovation the next day after he apologized postgame for the comment, which was caught on camera and quickly went viral. Phillies fans aren’t holding a grudge against Turner, either, and their support hasn’t gone unnoticed by Harper.
“Just such an incredible moment for [Turner] to be able to go out there and know that the fans have his back and have our team’s back,” Harper said. “That should be something for us too, as a team, to take advantage of and know, like, they got us. No matter what, they got us. Being able to know that on a personal level and on a team level as well, there’s nothing greater. I can go on and on, we just have such a great fan base and I am so thankful to be here and be a part of it.
