The Phillies are set to play the San Diego Padres in the National League Championship Series and they arrived by sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals and then knocking off the World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.
Harper hit one more big number, even on an off day — he turned 30 on Sunday.
"They work hard for everything they have," Harper said of the fans. "And I’m getting chills because it fires me up, man. It makes me want to win that much more. And when they show out for us like that, it makes our team that much better. And there was 46,000 people in this stadium, plus 26 on the field. We’re all together."
The Phillies are 5-1 to start a postseason for the first time in franchise history and the first time they have won five of six in any postseason stretch since 2009. Of course, they didn’t do much to add to those win totals after 2011.The Phillies spent a decade in baseball purgatory and seemed destined to spend a few more years there until owner John Middleton pried Harper away from Washington in 2019 and signed the free agent to a 13-year, $330 million deal. They traded for Realmuto in 2019.
