VIDEO: Bryce Harper Messes With Cubs Fans by Chucking Potential Souvenir Out of Wrigley Field
By Jerry Trotta
Bryce Harper just hasn't been able to avoid the jeers amongst baseball fans in the opening months of 2019. His early struggles at the plate have even forced the impatient Citizens Bank Park faithful to lay down the boos from time to time this season. And it was much of the same for Harper on the road at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night. Only this time, he was allowed to get back at the Wrigley faithful and he JUMPED all over the opportunity. Check out the former MVP brutally rejecting Cubs' fans begging for a souvenir by launching the ball onto the rooftops of Wrigley:

What a savage move by Bryce. And don't lie. You would do the same exact thing if you were being lambasted for over two hours.
Perhaps the Cubs supporters felt as though Harper snubbed them in free agency? After all, it was reported on several different occasions that Chicago was a candidate to land the superstar.

Only Harper knows if those rumors were true but one thing is for certain -- six innings worth of endless trolling absolutely advocates for the six-time All-Star to deprive fans in the bleachers of the elusive memento that is a game ball.
