Harper joined a chorus of voices expressing admiration for the Oakland fans after Tuesday’s “reverse boycott”.
Bryce Harper and the Phillies are coming to Oakland this weekend. By the time they visit the A’s next year, though, the games might be in Las Vegas, Harper’s hometown.“It should have been an expansion franchise, not the A’s,’’ Harperin a piece posted Thursday morning. He then drew a contrast with the NHL’s Golden Knights, who won the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night.
Harper and teammate Bryson Stott, also a Las Vegas-area native, said the Raiders have not captured the city’s support in the same way that the Golden Knights have. Stott said he has seen a lot of visiting fans at NFL games in Vegas and attributed that to the Raiders’ lack of deep ties to Nevada.
