Video shows tot with beer bottle at Phillies game
(AP) – 41 minutes ago
PHILADELPHIA — A video snippet from a Philadelphia Phillies broadcast appears to show a little boy in the stands taking a drink from a beer bottle, but the team thinks it was probably empty.
The fuzzy video making the rounds online shows the child putting the bottle to his lips at Sunday's Phillies-Padres game at Citizens Bank Park. No one nearby appears to be paying attention to him when he does. It's not clear whether the bottle has anything in it.
Phillies spokeswoman Bonnie Clark says the team hasn't been able to identify the boy. She says it appears to be "a very brief event, probably involving an empty bottle."
Police say they are not investigating.
Phillies fans have brought unfavorable publicity to the ballclub this year. In April, a drunken fan intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl. In May, a police officer used a Taser on a teenager who ran onto the field.

East might beat West in sports-related white trashery, but West has a monopoly on everything else.
If you'll excuse me, I have a hoagie to eat.

Eastern PA trash is much angrier and confrontational than Western PA. I think because it's closer to Jersey.

I never understood Philly sports fans. All of the people I've ever met from Philly are extremely cool, but at sporting events it's rather like the demons from Southside Hell have been released.

I doubt it is real. If he was a true Phillies fan he would have thrown the empty bottle at the opposing team.

When I had Eagles season tickets at the Vet, late 90s-early 00's, a ticket in the 700 level cost 300 bucks. Three hundred and you could go to all eight home games plus pre-season. That's dirt cheap, which meant any lowlife with 30 bucks could afford a ticket. And of course these people would show up 5 hours early and get drunk- people who are probably already assholes to begin with- so you'd see alot of boorish behavior (which is waayyy over-hyped, btw). I still go to a few games a year and can say it's gotten alot tamer at the Linc though. I think the cheapest season ticket is around 750 now, so it's a different class of people sitting up top. The behavior there nowadays is no different from the behavior at FedEx.
As far as this toddler with a beer bottle, it's alot of hype. It's a pic taken from far away, so who knows what the heck was going on. The kid could've picked up an empty and put it to his mouth, it's not like some 3 yr old was rushed to the ER with alcohol poisoning. If a parent gave a toddler beer at a Phillies game, I can gaurantee people sitting near them would intervene and call security. It's actually hilarious that someone would think that Philadelphians are so out-of-control that they would stand idle while a little kid was being abused.
