On Oct. 11, 1992, Deion Sanders nearly did the unthinkable.
Are the Philadelphia Phillies making an attempt to channel that vitality over twenty years later?
Again on that October day, Sanders suited up for the Atlanta Falcons as they took on the Miami Dolphins. In Atlanta’s 21-17 victory over Miami, Sanders caught one move for 9 yards and likewise helped the Falcons protection maintain Dan Marino to only 250 passing yards.
However whereas the remainder of the Falcons headed house, Sanders headed to his second job. He caught a flight to Pittsburgh to satisfy up along with his different crew, the Braves, who have been set to tackle the Pirates in Recreation 5 of the NLCS. Nonetheless, Sanders didn’t get into that recreation, which the Pirates gained 7-1 to increase the collection.
Quick-forward to tonight. The Phillies are set to tackle the Braves in Recreation 3 of their Nationwide League Division Sequence, which is knotted at 1-1. And simply who did Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos pay homage to precisely 21 years later?
Deion Sanders, or “Coach Prime” as he’s typically known as right now:
The caption “[t]hey completed messed round” pays tribute to the disagreement earlier within the season between Sanders, now the top coach at Colorado, and Colorado State head coach Mike Norvell.
On the one hand it appears odd for the Phillies gamers to honor Coach Prime 21 years to the day he tried to play in two totally different sports activities.
On the opposite, properly, this collection does appear slightly private, all the way down to Atlanta’s mascot beefing on Twitter.
As we mentioned after Recreation 2, you would possibly need to tune in tonight.
