Footage of MLB teammates' bizarre sexual handshake goes viral
In the dugout of Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers, Harper approached Wilson, with the two high-fiving before appearing to check each other's athletic supporters.
The move was done simultaneously and without eye contact, drawing the attention of the internet.
Some have branded the move as strange, while others see it as two MLB players letting loose and not taking themselves too seriously.
Wilson ended up replacing Harper in the game at first base after the two-time National League MVP was ejected from the contest.
Yet, even in victory, many remember more about the duo's handshake than what occurred outside the dugout.
Bryce Harper and Weston Wilson appeared to do a cup check while the game happened
'Christian Wilkins would THRIVE here,' one MLB fan said about the former Las Vegas Raider who was released in part for kissing a teammate.
'Damn. Keep that play in the clubhouse fellas,' a second person stated.
'Good friends double check if their friends remembered their cups,' a third added.
Dude get Weston Wilson off this baseball team NOW. Bryce's non reaction too… I got my eyes on you now too Mr Harper,' a fourth said.
'Bryce Harper and Weston Wilson's handshake is nuts,' a fifth concluded.

The Phillies enter Saturday's showdowns a half-game ahead of the New York Mets for first place in the NL East.
Both teams are in solid shape to make the postseason, regardless of which wins the division.
Harper has been an integral part of Philadelphia's push for the postseason this year, and has not been shy of drumming up controversy, including with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.
Maybe his secret to staying relevant all along has been his dugout handshake with Wilson.

Taijuan Walker, Phillies blank Orioles for third straight win
August 6 - Taijuan Walker pitched six solid innings and Max Kepler hit a two-run homer as the host Philadelphia Phillies topped the Baltimore Orioles 5-0 on Tuesday. Brandon Marsh also homered for Philadelphia, which has won three games in a row. Kepler and Marsh finished with two hits apiece for the hosts, as did Bryson Stott. The Phillies pounded out 10 hits in all. Walker (4-5) allowed four hits without a walk and struck out four batters in lowering his ERA to 3.53. He worked around a hit in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings and battled through a hit batter in the sixth. Baltimore managed only five singles -- two by Jordan Westburg -- in losing for the fifth time in six games. Dean Kremer (8-8) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings with six strikeouts and one walk. The Phillies did the bulk of their damage in the second inning, when Nick Castellanos singled with one out against Kremer and Marsh followed with an RBI double. The next batter was Kepler, who sent one over the fence in right-center field for his 12th homer of the season. The Phillies ended up loading the bases with two outs in the inning, but Kremer retired Bryce Harper on a fly ball to end the frame. Kepler sparked another rally in the fourth, as his leadoff double was followed two batters later by Stott's run-scoring triple to increase the score to 4-0. Marsh's solo homer against Yaramil Hiraldo in the eighth put an exclamation point on the victory. After Walker exited, Orion Kerkering, Matt Strahm and Max Lazar each logged a scoreless frame with two strikeouts. Philadelphia will go for a three-game sweep Wednesday as Ranger Suarez takes on Trevor Rogers in a battle of left-handers. --Field Level Media
