Bryce Harper's wife says she doesn't mind fans booing the Phillies outfielder.
But she has a warning for those fans: Do not include Harper's 4-week-old son or family in the heckling.
Kayla Harper spoke her mind on Twitter on Thursday morning, the night after fans at Nationals Park heckled her husband in the eighth inning. The Phillies slugger had already addressed the issue, saying, "It’s just not right. It’s not right.”
Kayla Harper called the fans "classless" for including the couple's son in the taunts.
“When you bring his son or family into it, yes you’re crossing a line. Stick to your overused overrated and Harper sucks chants if you’re really that loser that goes to a game to heckle someone,” Kayla Harper tweeted. “Phillies fans might boo him but they don’t bring his 4-week-old son into it. Classless.”

Harper, of course, spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the Nationals before signing a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies in the offseason.
“They were fine all game, talking about myself and things like that,” Harper said, regarding the heckling. “I get it everywhere I go. That’s nothing new. But the last two innings, it’s just not right. It’s not right.”
