PHILADELPHIA — As Bryce Harper jogged the final 45 feet of a home-run trot in the first inning Tuesday night, he looked directly into a Fox television camera that followed him up the third-base line.
“This is my house,” he said.
Sorry, but for the first time in this wild ride of a Phillies postseason, Harper was wrong. With all due respect to Mr. October/November — and let there be no doubt that Harper owns both months until further notice — this house belongs to you. All of you. The 45,000-plus that have packed the place, rocked the joint, and generally turned Citizens Bank Park into the place to be in South Philly again.
