In what was potentially his last home game as a National, Bryce Harper took a bow for the DC faithful at Nationals Park on Wednesday. Watch:

Harper, who will become a free agent after the season, finished the day 0-for-4 in a 9-3 Nationals win over the Miami Marlins, which was shortened to seven innings due to rain.
Since making his debut for the Nationals in 2012, the 25-year-old Harper has hit .278 to go along with 184 home runs and 521 RBI, and has a career OBP of .387. The six-time all star was named Rookie of the Year in 2012 and National League MVP in 2015. Harper won the Home Run Derby at this past July's All Star Game in his home park.
As the Nationals look ahead, and move forward into the Juan Soto era, only time will tell if Bryce Harper, such a big piece of the club's past, will be a part of their exciting future.
