PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — A day after Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper called out Washington Nationals fans for crossing the line with their heckling, his wife, Kayla Harper, revealed that those fans were targeting their newborn son Krew. She even said that some Nationals fans told her they wished her son was born with autism.

“I truly doubt you are aware of the [direct messages] I have gotten from Nats fans all season. Wishing my son has autism when he’s born for example. So yes all season,” she tweeted on Thursday.
