If Derek Jeter (not that he would have) did the same EXACT thing as Harper I doubt very much he would have been tossed.
It's like World Peace (Artest) in the NBA. He gets NO-leeway because he has a reputation.
Also, not just with the Harper incident bu CB is not a "well loved" official to begin with.
FWIW I doubt very much Harper would have been tossed if this were a play-off game.
Paul O'Neil took his helmet off plenty of times and did not get tossed. Got fined but not tossed. This is major league baseball not kiddy ball.
