This summer superstar slugger Bryce Harper decided to leave the Washington Nationals to sign a massive 13-year, $330 dollar deal with Philadelphia Phillies .
Unfortunately for Harper, the Philles didn’t make the playoffs while the Nationals went on to win the pennant and are now on their way to the franchise’s first World Series trip without him.

Before tonight’s game 4 vs the Cardinals, the Nationals trolled Harper with this hilarious tweet referencing Harper’s opening press conference with the Phillies when he accidentally said he wanted to bring a title back to D.C.
