Follow Game 1 of the World Series with TSN’s live blog
The Philadelphia slugger has made the MLB playoffs his own in recent weeks. He capped of an impressive pennant run in style, tearing the roof off at Citizens Bank Park with his two-run, go-ahead blast to send the Phillies to the World Series.
Harper earned NLCS MVP for his efforts. With a .419/.444/.907 slash line across 11 postseason games, the two-time NL MVP is in the midst of one of the most impressive individual runs in recent MLB history.
A World Series title would be the cherry on top of the proverbial sundae. Harper has long been one of the game’s best players. A ring would propel him into baseball immortality.
But standing in his way are the Houston Astros, a team that just steamrolled the Yankees in a sweep that propelled them back into the World Series for the fourth time in six years.
