Watch a home plate umpire eject a foul-mouthed Phillies fan
During the sixth inning of the Phillies-Giants game at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday, home plate umpire Bob Davidson halted play and began walking toward the Giants' dugout. The Giants hadn't done anything wrong -- it was a foul-mouthed fan sitting a few rows deep who had ticked off Davidson by shouting lewd remarks, sexual innuendo and telling Giants players they "suck."
Via Philly.com, Davidson said later:
"That's when I turned around and said 'You know what, get rid of this guy.' You could have your wife, girlfriend, kids - they buy tickets,"Davidson said. "They don't have to come here and listen to that. And people cheered me. Which is unusual in this town for me."
Security then escorted the man from his seat to the exit.
Not a good look for that fan, although the behavior still doesn't put him in the same wing of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Shame that includes the Phillies fan who intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl.
