Bryce Harper changed his number from 34 to 3 because 34 had belonged to Roy Halladay. Halladay died in a plane crash in the Gulf of Mexico 2 years ago. He died at the age of 40 on November 7, 2017. Roy was born on May 14, 1977 in Denver, Colorado. He pitched for the Blue Jays wearing 32 and 52. He then pitched for the Phillies wearing 34. He won 2 Cy Young awards. He was a 8x all star. He was voted into the Hall of Fame this year. He will be inducted later this year. Rest in Peace Roy. So, Bryce will probably not wear 34 for the rest of his career.
