Bryce Harper Divided Opinions Among Fans Over His Birthday Party
Bryce Harper turned 31 this year, and he made a controversial decision about how to celebrate both his birthday and a home run.
In Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, the Philadelphia Phillies player was a team member that defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3.
Zac Gallen allowed Harper to hit a single home run to right-center field in the bottom of the first inning. The Phillies took a two-run lead after this.
Bryce Harper returned to home plate after an amazing start to the game and put up three fingers on one hand and one on the other before pretending to blow them out like birthday candles.
When questioned about his celebration after the game, Harper responded, this is ridiculous. He occasionally acts on his instincts. As he was sprinting around third base, he just had the feeling that he would do it.

Harper has been successful in drawing attention to his celebrations in the past. He made a move like slitting his neck while staring down Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia during the most recent postseason, which outraged many people.
Harper, who is renowned for speaking his mind, recently discussed his opportunity to play for the New York Yankees, the club he grew up admiring, on the Pat McAfee Show.
