Bryce Harper's first season in Philadelphia wasn't quite what he or fans expected. As Harper prepares to embark on his second season as a Phillie, he's making it clear the City of Brotherly Love's frustrated response to his struggles in 2019 haven't done anything to alter his love of the city.

Harper toldAngelo Cataldiand the 94WIP Morning Show:

"I just knew that coming into Philly they want you to work hard and they hold you accountable, and I love that.

"My dad and my family always held me accountable growing up, they always wanted me to work hard and do everything I could to be a good person, a good baseball player and that's what I want to do for this city.
