This past baseball offseason, Bryce Harper signed with the Nationals NL East rivals in the Philadelphia Phillies. It rubbed Nats fans the wrong way because he turned down a massive contract from the team and signed with their biggest rival late in the offseason.
Nats fans also relished the moment when, during his first press conference with his new team, he misspoke and said "We want to bring a title back to DC."
To make it even more ironic, the Nationals just captured the National League title for the first time after sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals. Maybe not the title Harper meant but Washington is now just four wins away from taking home the World Series.
