According to Tampabay.com, Philadelphia fans showed their true colors during the Sunday, October 26th Game 3 of the World Series.
The rabid Phillies fans - denizens of a sports fanbase often regaled as the worst in world - harassed, harangued and generally and abused Rays fans at Citizens Bank Park to a level not before experienced by the gentle Southerners:
Children were cursed at. (Which is no surprise, having personally witnessed a youngster at a Phillies game in 2007 call an Atlanta fan a ‘faggot’ and whip a full cup of soda at him.)
One 9-year-old boy had beer poured on him.
A Rays family member stayed locked in a bathroom stall to remain safe from Phillies fans who were banging on walls and threatening him.
Really though, for a town that cheered Michael Irvin breaking his neck in ‘99 this isn’t all that bad.
