CNN reports, the Nats beat the St. Louis Cardinals seven to four on Tuesday night to wrap up a resounding four-game sweep and claim the title as National League champs.

Harper grew up in Las Vegas and attended Las Vegas High School. He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated at the age of 16 and was the first overall draft pick at the age of 17. He reached the majors and made the All-Stars team by the time he was 19. He is currently 26 years old.
Harper made 184 home runs for the Nationals. It was rumored that Harper might go to the Dodgers or San Francisco Giants before signing with the Phillies. Both of those teams reportedly visited Harper last week in Las Vegas.
