Bryce Harper Blows Kiss To Pitcher After Hitting Home Run (VIDEO)

Bryce Harper might want to rethink his home-run trot before he reaches the big leagues.

The vaunted Washington Nationals prospect smacked a home run in the sixth inning of Class A Hagerstown's (Md.) 3-2 home loss to Greensboro. The home run was a quality shot, but the ensuing celebration wasn't; after rounding third base, Harper puckered up and made a kissing motion at pitcher Zachary Neal.

Harper was hit by a pitch the day before, so he might have been still angry about that incident, which could have led to the celebratory taunting. Scroll down to watch the video.

Pretty soon somebody's going to stick a baseball down his throat if he keeps doing junk like that.

Ron Hunt and Craig Biggio got hit a lot and they had fine careers.

I don't think he's talking about getting hit. The arrogant smooch is the point here. Try that in the bigs and he'll get the next fastball in his left eye.

If the "vaunted" single A phenom manages to get to the Show and pulls that stunt, he'll be picking his teeth up out of the dust around home plate.

Baseball is about accepting failure, and continuing inspite of it. To be hit by a pitch is a sign of respect, the hitter has to respond by saying "You can't get me out because I own you" but the truth is pitcher and the fielders win most of the at bats, and by a wide margin. For the people saying he should be hit the next time up, don't really understand the "game" its better to get him out, and have the last laugh
