Bryce Harper Hopes to Play for Phillies Until He's 45: 'I Really Believe That I Can'

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper wants to pull a Tom Brady.

The 30-year-old told The Athletic's Matt Gelb that he hopes to play for the Phillies until he's 45, similar to Brady's goal of playing in the NFL to the age of 45. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller and seven-time Super Bowl champion hung up the cleats for good this winter.

"I absolutely love playing for the Philadelphia Phillies," Harper said. "I can't explain to you how much I love it. And how much I enjoy it. I really can't. I want to play here until I'm 45 years old, and I really believe that I can.
