From the roof of a dugout inside the Phillies' spring training home Saturday, Bryce Harper was formally introduced by his new club.

Focused, he said, on establishing a long, winning career in a place where he also felt a strong familial connection, Harper and agent Scott Boras adamantly reiterated their belief that with a 13-year, $330 million, opt-out-free deal, Philadelphia will be that place.

Harper, who will be 39 when the deal expires, expects the red No. 3 pinstripe jersey he put on during his news conference to be the last big league uniform he wears.
