'Clown question' shirts to be sold
Bryce Harper's famous phrase, "That's a clown question, bro," soon will be available on T-shirts, according to a report.
The Washington Nationals' young phenom told Comcast SportsNet on Thursday that Under Armour will begin selling T-shirts with his now often repeated catchphrase.
Harper quipped his popular words last week to a Toronto TV reporter who asked if the 19-year-old had planned to take advantage of Canada's lower drinking age after belting a long home run in a win over the Blue Jays.
Harper is a Mormon, a religion that forbids alcohol.
For a brief time, the highest trending topic on Twitter was Harper's response: "That's a clown question, bro." The outfielder's name also was among the site's most popular subjects.
Twitter users have been reformulating the phrase to fit different contexts, too.
