Unfortunately the legacy of Harambe wasn’t enough to save the Nationals fortunes Thursday night as they fell 4-3 to the Dodgers.
Harper also isn’t the only big time athlete honoring the legacy of Harambe. PGA golfer Smylie Kaufman also had a custom set of golf clubs made for himself that pay tribute to the gorilla shot down at the Cincinnati zoo when a child fell into his enclosure.

He’s gone but certainly never forgotten.
