Do you know the rest of the story behind the "Kiss Blowing Episode"? No chance that a major league pitcher acts as bush as the opposing pitcher who served up the Harper Homer (TM).
Well, that is one consolation though, isn't it? Pitcher's bat in the NL, so I guess a pitcher is just as likely to get plunked for being Bush League than anyone else.
I particularly enjoy the stories about grown men attending minor league baseball games who have nothing better to do than hurl obscenities at a teenager. Can you imagine? Even umpires have gotten in on the fun, some of the calls made against Harper have been laughably bad. Though - MLB umpires are ego maniacal bags of suck, so there is that ...
I don't know what's wrong with people sometimes. God forbid someone be colorful and flamboyant.
It's funny that Harper mentions Joe Namath, because if Harper was in the NFL - I can't help but think his personality would be much more embraceable.
