Bryce Harper wears red contacts for Game 3

Found October 10, 2012 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Bryce Harper

Via NESN:

Bryce Harper loves to accessorize. Whether it's an insane amount of eye black, wristbands galore or a crazy mohawk, the Washington Nationals rookie is all about looking good and playing good.

He took that to another level on Wednesday afternoon for Game 3 of the National League Divisional Series.

Harper made his home playoff debut in front of a rabid Washington crowd, and with the fans going for the "red-out," Harper did his part to join in on the fun.

Instead of going with warpaint eye black, Harper instead opted for a special kind of contact lens. He could be seen wearing red contacts, which are designed to act like sunglasses in reducing the glare of the sun.

It also makes for a pretty crazy look.

Are Bryce Harper's playoff struggles a big deal?

Via The Outside Corner  |  October 11, 2012
I'm seeing something a little disturbing in the reactionary media after the Nationals have lost two straight in the NLDS to the Cardinals. Major outlets are blaming Washington's struggles on Stephen Strasburg's shutdown last month and Nationals' rookie phenom Bryce Harper having a terrible series after three games. The Strasburg thing can be debated until death, but...

Don't call Bryce Harper overanxious, bro. Harper was asked by a reporter following Monday's Nationals-Cardinals game whether he's a bit overanxious at the plate, and the inquiry didn't sit well with the Washington outfielder.

Thanks to Tyler Moore’s pinch-hit 2-run single late in the game, the Nationals took a 1-0 series advantage over the St. Louis Cardinals.
