Things went sideways for the Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Phillies, and one of their fans took it out on a Phillies supporter as he completely unraveled.
Video from Atlanta’s 7-6 Tuesday home loss to Philadelphia shared by Barstool Philly shows a fan in a Braves jersey and cap turn around and throw his drink at an exuberant Phillies fan standing on top of two seats one row back. First he hurls the liquid out of the cup, then throws the emptied cup at the Phillies fan’s head.
The two fans then exchange words. The Braves fan slaps away the Phillies fan’s hand and points at him aggressively with rage oozing out of his face. The Braves fan then climbs up one row, slams his hat to the ground and screams, “You want the beatdown?! Yes or no?! Do you want it or not?!”
The Phillies fan and his friend later spoke with Chris O’Connell of Philadelphia’s Fox 29 about the incident (h/t Crossing Broad).
“He threw a drink in my face, he was yelling at me that I was disrespectful, but I was just trying to, like, play it cool, tell him I was just trying to watch Phillies-Braves,” the fan said.
The fan’s friend then chimed in to say the Braves fan’s wife “was on our side.”
“His wife was telling us, ‘Oh, he’s fine, he’s fine,” the first fan said. The pair then said another Braves fan pulled the angry, drink-throwing Braves fan away from the Phillies duo. The Fox 29 clip ends with the Philly fans doing an Eagles chant.
