Watch: Harper shushes heckler after taking Colon deep
Bill Streicher / USA TODAY Sports
Don't heckle the MVP.
He'll make you regret it.
One yappy New York Mets fan learned that lesson the hard way Thursday at Citi Field, where Bryce Harper responded to his incessant heckling with a mammoth home run to center field off Bartolo Colon, and then shushed him as he stepped on home plate.
Harper, who was recently named to his fourth All-Star team in five seasons, now has 19 home runs in 2016 and leads the majors in post-homer savagery.
