When Bryce Harper left the Washington Nationals to join the Philadelphia Phillies, many baseball fans thought that was going to lead to less success for the franchise. Harper has emerged as one of the most dangerous players in the game when it comes to swinging a bat, and his departure would logically leave the Nats more depleted on offence.
Well, maybe not so much. The Nats are on the verge of advancing to their franchise-first World Series. So wait, what’s the caption of this tweet all about?
Nope, it’s not some poor social media guy essentially handing in his resignation notice, it’s actually a clever shot at the team’s former star Harper. When Harper first came to D.C., he accidentally made the same blunder.
Now in a position to advance further than they ever did with Harper, that’s a coooooold tweet. It didn’t go above the fan’s heads either.
(H/T FTW)
