During an interview with Pete McCarthy of WOR 710 radio on Wednesday, Mets minority owner Bill Maher called Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals a “douche bag.”
“There’s a couple of words that I really can’t say…” Maher told McCarthy. “But next to those words in the dictionary I can see a picture of Bryce Harper.”
“He’s a douche! He’s a douche bag. He looks like a douche bag! I just don’t like him.”
Harper, 23, was unanimously named the National League MVP last season after batting .330 and leading the NL with 42 home runs and 124 walks.
“Well of course if he was a Met I’d love him,” Maher continued. “I could learn to love Bryce Harper.”
The Mets declined to comment on Bill Maher’s comments.
