Harper let his kids loose with markers to draw on a blank bat: “They don’t really get too entertained with the game right now, but they were excited to see that I was using it.”
As MLB relaxes its restrictions on bat paint finishes for Players’ Weekend, players across the league are using works of art at the plate. Several Phillies have taken the opportunity to showcase their custom bats in the series against the Washington Nationals.But Harper’s new bats are two-of-a-kind. He asked for a blank bat and set Krew, who turns 5 on Monday, and Brooklyn, 3, loose on it with markers.
They also colored on a second bat, which the manufacturing company Victus had designed to look like a yellow crayon with “DAD’S BAT” printed on it. Krew added his own touch with his blue handprint on the barrel and his initial on the knob. He also added some words of encouragement, writing “GO DAD” at the top.
Harper used a decorated bat before in 2018, while he was with the Nationals. Through his foundation, Harper’s Heroes, he hosted children who had cancer at the ballpark and had them draw and write on a bat.
