Bryce Harper's bat decal for NLDS Game 5 is a tribute to Harambe

Very tasteful!

Bryce Harper knows how to make a statement, but 'less is more' seems to be his philosophy.

Thursday night during the Nationals playoff game, he honored the controversial gorilla, Harambe, with his bat sticker.

One of his favorites, and ours too.

Wishing himself some luck.

Another touching tribute.

This one is to boxing legend Muhammad Ali, after he passed away this summer.

Nicely done, Bryce.
