LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas natives Bryce Harper and Bryson Stott are headed to the World Series.
Following the Phillies' win, Harper was named the 2022 National League Championship Series MVP.
Harper says he's "thankful, grateful" to be in this position. He adds, "[I'm] grateful for my teammates, this organization, this fan base. We're going to enjoy this."
The two-time MVP says, despite his excitement, they still need four more wins to get the job done. Something Harper gets to do on the biggest stage in baseball and alongside Las Vegas native and former UNLV baseball alum, Bryson Stott.
"Kinda just being from the same city and playing with one of your best friends on the biggest stage is something not a lot of people could say they ever do," Stott said. "Just being able to represent Las Vegas with him... I mean, I see a bunch of Vegas shirts all the time out here."
Game 1 of The World Series will begin on Friday in Houston.
