Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos Pay Tribute to Deion Sanders in Stylish Pregame Attire

In a series locked at 1-1, the Philadelphia Phillies made quite an entrance for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos paid a stylish tribute to former Braves center fielder and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders with their unique pregame outfits. Harper sported a Deion Sanders shirt, while Castellanos donned a Coach Prime Buffaloes sweatshirt, celebrating Sanders’ connection to both baseball and football.

In that historic series, Sanders exhibited his remarkable skills, boasting a batting average of .533, along with five stolen bases and four runs scored. Despite his outstanding performance, the Braves ultimately fell short, losing in six games to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Bryce Harper has become known for his expressive and attention-grabbing pregame outfits throughout this postseason. Notably, he donned an Allen Iverson shirt before Game 1 of the NL wild-card series, which appeared to be a good luck charm for the Phillies as they went on to sweep the Miami Marlins and advance.

Both Nick Castellanos and Bryce Harper have been fixtures in the Philadelphia Phillies’ starting lineup during the playoffs. Harper has continued to showcase his prowess in the postseason, currently boasting a batting average of .333, complemented by five walks, one home run, and one RBI. Meanwhile, Castellanos has contributed with a .250 batting average and one RBI.

The Phillies’ decision to honor Deion Sanders, a sports legend with connections to both baseball and football, added a unique touch to their NLDS Game 3 preparations.
