As someone who has been going to Phillies games for nearly 50 years, I dislike seeing anything that reinforces that stigma. Philadelphia fans have been booing Santa Claus, punching police horses, and throwing batteries for as long as I can remember. Approximately 1 in every million Philadelphia fans...but those are the ones people remember.
Now we have another fan's behavior to deal with, and this one traveled quite some distance to bring shame to Phillies fans.

I think the worst was when a Phillies player hit a woman with a foul ball, and as they were carrying her out on a stretcher, he hit her again. That was cold.
