Harper embraces boos: “I love Phillies fans”

Bryce Harper: Between Boos and Fatherhood in the Divisional Series

Los Angeles – The atmosphere in the Phillies’ stadium has been intense, with boos echoing from the stands. Bryce Harper, a key figure for the team, has experienced a series of ups and downs in the National League Division Series. With a single and three strikeouts in the series, where the Phillies are down 2-0 against the Dodgers, Harper has had to deal with the frustration of the fans.

I love our fans. I boo myself when I fail.

The player also commented on the venue change for the third game, which will be played at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies are facing elimination in this best-of-five series. Harper doesn’t believe that distancing themselves from their fanbase is necessarily positive for the team. He highlighted the unconditional support they receive from their fans.

We have some of the best baseball fans and they make me play better, so I enjoy it. They come to support us every day. They spend their hard-earned money to watch us play; they expect greatness from us and I expect greatness from myself and my teammates as well.

Nick Castellanos, third baseman, played a significant role in an exciting ninth inning, where the Phillies were close to victory. The fans’ reaction ranged from cheers to boos in the 4-3 defeat.

I think the stadium is alive on both sides, right? When the game is going well, we have a tailwind, but when the game is not going well, we have a headwind. The atmosphere can be with us, and the atmosphere can be against us.

In addition to the challenges on the field, Harper is enjoying his stay in Los Angeles, near his hometown, Las Vegas. Recently, he became a father for the fourth time. Harper expressed his admiration for his wife, Kayla, and the joy of having his son in his arms.

I have an incredible wife. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She’s an absolute monster at it. Women. Man, what a breed. I mean it, it’s something incredible. Being able to hold your child for the first time is something. It’s one of the best moments of my life.

The couple now has two sons, Krew and Hayes, and two daughters, Brooklyn and Kamryn, all under 6 years old. Harper emphasized that, although he loves baseball, his family is the most important thing. “I definitely miss them at this moment,” she concluded.
