Harper's act while in the minors was pathetic. Stepping... No... Stomping with max force on a kid's leg playing first base, assumably out of frustration for having rolled over one... I can still picture it clearly. No idea if that firstbaseman went on to play higher level ball or not, but regardless... He was a kid who had earned the right to be on that field that day just like Harper... Just another guy working for a shot. Harper showed his true colors that day in my book. Then there was blowing kisses at pitchers when he'd go deep. Less offensive, since nobody got injured for a change... But still a clear demonstration of the guy's (lack of) character. For me, it's just like Machado this past weekend... A guy with great talent who doesn't have the class to match. JMO.
