Dodgers Star Mookie Betts Swaps Jerseys with Phillies Bryce Harper
The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a disappointing three-game series against the Phillies in Philadelphia this weekend, dropping the first and last game of the series as the bullpen continued to struggle.
There wasn't a lot of good from the series outside of Saturday's 9-0 dominant Dodgers win, however, we did get a pretty cool photo following Sunday's series finale.
Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts linked up with Phillies superstar Bryce Harper to snap one of the most legendary photos of the season, as the two swapped jerseys following Sunday's series finale.
There's a lot of accomplishments in that photo, as Betts is a one-time MVP, two-time World Series winner and six-time All-Star while Harper is a two-time MVP and a seven-time All-Star.
The jersey swap is something that has become very popular in the NFL and the NBA, but you don't see it a lot in the MLB. The reason for that is in the NBA and NFL, the two teams remain on the field to shake hands and catch up with their friends after the game. In the MLB, though, the winning team high fives on the field while the losing team heads to the dugout and into the clubhouse.
Fortunately, Betts stayed on the field after Sunday's loss to talk with Harper, and that led us to this incredible moment. Hopefully, more players learn from Betts and Harper, and start staying on the field after the game to give us more photos and moments like this one.
The jersey swap is something that has helped the NFL and NBA take off on social media after games — the MLB can greatly benefit from some jersey swap photos of their own.
