Daily News | As he turns 30, Phillies’ Bryce Harper finally gets his wish — to play past his birthday
After the hugs and the high-fives, the handshakes and the pats on the back, the Phillies pulled on gray T-shirts with ‘NLCS’ printed across the chest and gathered in front of the mound for a team photo. It was shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, and the party was just getting started.
Yes, here they are. Harper turns the Big 3-0 on Sunday — can you believe he’s only just 30? — and wouldn’t you know it, the Phillies’ season is still going. It’s no wonder he has been walking around each day, like a man possessed, telling anyone within earshot that the Phillies aren’t going to lose and setting a goal of getting his first at-bat as a 30-year-old before spring training.
And Hoskins: “It’s amazing. I mean, maybe a Hall of Fame career already? There’s more to come, I could tell you that. It’s just the kind of player he is.” There were a lot of 0-for-4s down the stretch. Harper came back from the injury and searched for his timing at the plate. He conceded to being late on fastballs and jumping at breaking pitches. Over the final 16 games, he went 12-for-60 with two extra-base hits.But since the playoffs began, Harper has been, well, Harper again.
“He’s one of the best in the game for a reason, and I know for a fact, no one in this room is worried about Bryce,” Schwarber said. “Obviously we’re all here to support him when he was going through when he felt like he was off. Just to see where he’s at now, he’s going out there and he’s doing unbelievable things that some of the best players in the game only do. It’s really cool to watch.”
