rewrite this title Bryce Harper takes Phillie Phanatic bromance to next level

First baseman Bryce Harper loves being a Philadelphia Phillie.

Harper has embraced the city and the fans from the beginning. He has become a fan of every professional sports team in the city. He was even fined for wearing a Wawa-themed headband and cleats. However, his love of the Phillie Phanatic makes everything else pale in comparison.

If there were any questions about the legitimacy of Harper’s affection for the Phillies’ mascot, they were put to rest. Harper permanently declared his appreciation of the Phanatic by getting a tattoo of the Phillies’ mascot on his right forearm. The tattoo features the Phanatic on his ATV — one of the more iconic images of the mascot.
