Bryce Harper swears he did not scare the followers at DC, it was my ring finger!

There isn’t any love between Bryce Harper and the Nationals fan base, however the 2x NL MVP says he did NOT give them the center finger, regardless of what the video appeared to point out!

The 33-year-old MLB star was again at his previous stomping grounds Thursday evening and was greeted with chants of “F*** Bryce Harper.”

The house staff took a 5-0 lead, however the Phillies got here again sturdy…and the sport was tied when Harper got here to the plate within the prime of the ninth inning and surprised the hostile crowd.

Bryce launched a cost on a 1-0 pitch, sending it the opposite manner over the left discipline fence, giving the Phillies a 7-5 lead.

As he rounded first base, Harper appeared to activate the Nationals trustworthy… however it seems that wasn’t what it appeared.

“The ring finger, although, I simply wish to be sure it is there,” Bryce instructed the media from the guests’ clubhouse, clarifying that it wasn’t his center finger.

For those who actually take a look at the footage, he wasn’t mendacity…it is his ring finger.

The aim of the provocation is unclear.

Bryce did not win a World Collection… however the Nationals had been with out him in 2019, the season after he left for Philadelphia, the place he signed a $330 million contract.

Harper says he was perplexed by the remedy he acquired from followers all through the sequence, after every little thing he did at DC.

“It is all a part of it. It is bizarre coming from a fan base, clearly, that I have been sweating for seven years, however there’s lots of people right here who like me. So it is all a part of it. It is all in good enjoyable.”
