Bryce Harper is off Twitter.

And so, the greatest Twitter account in the brief history of the Washington Nationals is gone. Bryce Harper is...off Twitter? The party's over.

In no particular order, our favorite Bryce Harper Tweets of all time: the night during the 2011 playoffs when he was rooting for the Yankees; Christmas 2011 when he announced that he got a puppy for Christmas; and every time he went out of his way to remind fans in DC that he is not a fan of Redskins, Hoyas, Wizards, or Caps.

Farewell @BHarp3407. Apparently you have deleted your Twitter account.

Why?

"I just wanted to. I was done."
(Bryce Harper, via Nats Insider, 2/29/2012)

Okay, really, why?

"I think it comes from the media day that we had. We had some comments from some teammates. That was the result."
(Davey Johnson, via Nationals.com, 2/29/2012)

Ah, "comments" from "some teammates". So his teammates took away the keys to Bryce Harper's Twitter account!

Somebody said:

"Wanna make the team? Focus on the job and get rid of your silly Twitter account, rookie."

Or..."somebody pays you a lot of money to not only deliver on the field, but make the local fans like you and spend money on your authentic unis and paraphernalia, Don't screw that up."

[WFY]

Probably a good move, but it feels like they are letting meatheads like Chad Dukes win.

That is the problem with Twitter accounts in general--people type in whatever dumb stuff that is on their minds. I'd really rather not know what they are thinking because I actually find it depressing.

Sounds like with fanfest, the Nats front office does not want the players to interact with the fans, so no social media for anyone, all Nats have been silent, Bryce just happen to delete his account, which he has done before.
