Citizens Bank Park: Ground Zero for Brawling
While last night’s Phillies/Mets tilt gave off the expected amount of tension that seems to come up when any New York team is in town — the shit-talking bravado between the loudmouth guy in the Mets visor and the loudmouth guy in the Ryan Howard jersey, the wimpy chorus of boos trying to drown out “Let’s Go Mets!” — the brawling in the 300 level was off the charts. It’s unclear if this was a direct result of things gone too far between rival fans or just another instance of the unrest that’s become more and more prevalent at Citizens Bank Park this season.
