Hopefully this does not happen at Target Field tonight. From the Philly Daily News:
Matthew Clemmens, a 21-year-old from South Jersey, took boorish behavior at a sporting event to an all-time low at Wednesday's Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park, authorities said.
Police said that Clemmens shoved his fingers down his throat and vomited on the 11-year-old daughter of off-duty Easton Police Capt. Michael Vangelo, then slugged the cop in the head several times.
"It was the most vile, disgusting thing I've ever seen," said Vangelo, "and I've been a cop for 20 years."
The revolting display followed several innings' worth of slurred curses, spilled beer and spit that Clemmens and another man directed at Vangelo, his two daughters and one of their friends, said Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore.
There was no motive known for the continuous harassment - except, perhaps, sheer stupidity.
"It reminds you of the type of behavior you used to hear about at the 700 level in Veterans Stadium," Vanore said.
Wow. That's about as bad as it gets. Please refrain from such behavior at our lovely new downtown ballpark, everyone. And have an excellent weekend as a result.
