The Philadelphia Phillies have started to arrive at Citizens Bank Park ahead of Game 7 of the National League Championship Series.

This will be the first time in franchise history that they will be competing in a Game 7 during the MLB Playoffs.

After a poor performance on Monday, the Phillies will look to turn things around on Tuesday in this must-win game with a World Series berth on the line.

Philadelphia's offense was uncharacteristically quiet in Game 6.

Their superstar hitters Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos and Trea Turner combined to go 0-13 with six strikeouts.

They need to show up if the Phillies want any chance to advance.

So, how are they feeling heading into this pressure packed game?

Well, Harper arrived to the stadium with an interesting jersey choice, representing Patrick Beverley of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Much of his pregame outfits have been analyzed about what message he is trying to send.

Beverley is known to play hard, play with attitude and get under the skin of his opponents.

Is that the message that Harper is trying to portray?

Or, is it just a cool jersey for another team in the city that he wanted to wear?

Only the superstar and some of his teammates know what message, if any, that he's trying to send with this outfit.

Maybe he'll let everyone in on the meaning after the game.

Maybe he'll let it just sit with everyone so they can discuss what they think it means.

Either way, Harper looks ready for Game 7 of the NLCS, one of the biggest events in Philadelphia's franchise playoff history.
