The Philadelphia Phillies need to do everything possible to win Game 3 of the NLDS.
Protecting their home field while going up 2-1 over the Atlanta Braves would put them in the driver’s seat.
You can tell by the way the Phillies entered the stadium on Wednesday that they will do whatever it takes to win.
According to MLB Life, Bryce Harper was seen walking into the stadium wearing a “Coach Prime” shirt.
That is to show respect to University of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders.

Sanders has been the talk of the sports world over the last few months for the job he has done at Colorado.
Many players from across the sports landscape have shown him plenty of respect.
Sanders is an NFL Hall of Famer and has the nickname “Primetime.”
Harper and the Phillies are hoping they can play with the same swagger and zest that Sanders always showed on the field.
The Phillies are undefeated at home in this postseason and have shown no signs of slowing down.
It helps that they play in front of one of the best playoff atmospheres in all of sports.
Last season, the Phillies found themselves in the same scenario.
The series was tied 1-1 in the NLDS facing the Braves with Games 3 and 4 coming up in Philadelphia.
The Phillies proceeded to win both home games and knock out the Braves.
Now, all Philadelphia hopes that history can repeat itself and they can advance to their second straight NLCS.
