Pretty soon that's what Bryce Harper is going to be hearing from opposing pitchers. Just last night Harper went yard in for Class A Hagerstown Suns. As he rounded third base and headed for home he blew a kiss to the pitcher.
Not only did he immaturely blow a kiss at the opposing pitcher, but Hagerstown lost the game 3-2 to Greensboro. They didn't even win. If that was a walk off homer to win the game then he can blow all the kisses he wants. He can even blow a kiss at me for all I care. But if your big fly didn't even help the team win, keep your lips to yourself.
How does that make him look? Sure, he hit a home run, for Class A Hagerstown. He's not even going up against top competition in the minor leagues. Harper is hitting .342 with 14 home runs for Class A Hagerstown. So he's not just wasting his time on the team. But that's not the first time he's hit a home run.
Harper can't go to the bigs until he matures. Some sources say he has had a history of immature behavior in the minor leagues. When Harper does mature enough to move into the bigs, he better be ready to struggle. Big league pitchers are a little bit better than Class A pitchers.
