PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 26: Bryce Harper #3 of the Philadelphia Phillies reacts after hitting a sacrifice RBI during the sixth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Citizens Bank Park on September 26, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylva …
PHILADELPHIA - "If you don't understand Philadelphia, come here in October."
The Phillies and their fans. It's a bond that can't be broken, and one that the team celebrated in a new hype video released just hours before Game 1 of the Wild Card Series Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park.
It all began with a simple question, "What is this team's story as of today?"
Cue the epic montage: Harper's 300th homerun; 14th no hitter in Phillies' history; and of course, the postseason clincher.

However, the Phils journey back to the postseason wasn't always a smooth ride.
"That's why they call you the Fightins, each guy is a fighter," Bryce Harper said.
The video starts to build with each win, before reaching a defining moment of this season - Trea Turner's standing ovation.
A moment that sparked a winning streak, and left one thing on the team's mind: the World Series.
"All I'm thinking about is the trophy, that's all I want," Harper said.
It ended with a message from the Phillies: "If you don't understand Philadelphia, come here in October… and if you don't get it, then get the F--- out of Philly."
