It was exactly two years ago this week that Nationals prospect Bryce Harper was put on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Today, the 18-year-old has caused a major stir on the World Wide Web for his actions in a Class A game Monday night. While rounding the bases after hitting a home run, Harper looked toward the pitcher and sent him a kiss (hence the Raf mention above). I know I'm supposed to act like this is the worst thing ever, but if I'm being honest, I'm way more offended by Harper's mustache.

The man who runs the Mets blog The7Line.com was recently kicked out of Citi Field for promoting his website on a sign. Since Hot Clicks tries to support blogs (and loves to expose dumb rules like no website mentions on signs), we wanted to give The7Line.com a plug. We also wanted to tell you that you should put "SI.com's Hot Clicks" on any sign you bring to a sporting event.
