Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper paid tribute to the late Muhammad Ali on Friday, only hours after the iconic heavyweight champion was laid to rest in his home state of Kentucky.

Prior to Friday's game against the Phillies, Harper honored Ali with a famous quote from the legendary boxer.

Ali's famous quote was from before his 1964 fight with Sonny Liston, when he said: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Rumble, young man, rumble."

It's the latest decal used this season by Harper, whose bats have included stickers commemorating his "Make Baseball Fun Again" campaign, and the "100" emoji.
