It looks like Phillies fans are really trying hard to live up to the hype they have created. There has always been a bad reputation for the Philadelphia sports franchises supporters. So far during the opening days of the baseball season they are in rare form.
On opening day thousands of them poured in to Nationals Park. They booed the hometown's star player, Ryan Zimmerman, while he was receiving his awards from last season. There were many reports from disgruntled fans about the "Philly invaders" being rude and disrespectful to the home team's fans. One fan went as far to stage a "sit in" on the grassy area known as the batters eye in center field and was promptly escorted from the facilities by police.
As if these incidents weren't enough to cement their reputation, ESPN.com is reporting that a man was arrested on Wednesday night at Citizen's Bank Park for intentionally vomiting on some other patrons. You read that correctly, INTENTIONALLY VOMITING. What is wrong with people? It just so happens the man vomited on an off duty police captain and was removed from the stadium.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting the man, Matthew Clemmens of New Jersey, is being held on $36,000 bail on three complaints counting 15 counts of the different offenses. Good luck explaining that one to your lawyer Matthew.
