The wait is finally over. Bryce Harper is a Philadelphia Phillie, and he's got the video game cover to prove it.
When it was announced that Bryce Harper would be on the cover of MLB's The Show video game, fans began to wonder if Harper could reveal his new team through the game's cover. Sure enough, after his 13-year deal with the Phillies was announced, The Show tweeted their official cover of Harper dressed in those beautiful red and white pinstripes.

The Show's Twitter account became infamous for trolling Phillies fans last month, teasing the idea of Bryce Harper coming to Philadelphia.

Fans grew frustrated with the account's antics, and NBC Sports Philadelphia even fired back with their own parody cover.

Now that he's officially a Phillie, we'll forgive them for the trolling.
