Bryce Harper changed his number because 'Roy Halladay should be the last one' to wear No. 34 for Phillies. When news first came down that Bryce Harper would be signing with the Phillies, there was only excitement.
Simply so, what is Bryce Harper's new number?
Bryce Harper will wear No. 3 as a Philadelphia Phillie, NBC Sports Philadelphia confirmed Friday night. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Matt Breen first reported the news.
Correspondingly, why does Bryce Harper wear 34?
34 — the number Harper wore with the Nationals and Halladay wore with the Phillies. Harper wore 34 in tribute to Mickey Mantle, as Harper's number added up to Mantle's No. 7. Harper will wear No.
He made his MLB debut with the Nationals on April 28, 2012, at 19 years old. Harper was selected for the 2012 All-Star Game, becoming the youngest position player to perform in an All-Star Game.
