Young Phillies Fan Caught Drinking Beer

I guess blondes do have more fun… and they are starting real young! TV cameras allegedly caught a young child appearing to swig from a beer bottle while in the stands at Citizens Bank Park during Sunday’s game against the Padres.  The child appears to be between three and four years old, wearing a white Phillies jersey. In two video shots taken from an official game broadcast, the blonde child is seen with a plastic beer bottle in his right hand, lifting it to his mouth. The bottle appears to be empty, but the sight has still sent fans into an outrage. The youngster could be seen hitting the bottle at the bottom of the 7th inning. He was also seen clapping with the bottle in another shot.

The latest incident comes shortly after two nationally publicized confrontations, where one fan vomited on six people, while another fan had to be tasered by Philadelphia police on camera. After a couple seasons marred by fights in the stands, laser pointers pointed at players, trying to turn tricks for World Series tickets, vomiting fans and the infamous taser incident, this comes as another blow to the City of Brotherly Love and its infamous fans.

That video quickly made its way around the Internet, but was promptly taken down from sites like YouTube for violating copyright. Once the story hit airwaves, it set off another round of Philadelphia bashing.  According to the Huffington Post, “Phillies fans are an illustrious bunch. In the past year, they have vomited, prostituted and been tasered. Now it appears that childhood drinking can be added to the list.”

Child services is now trying to identify the child or the adults near him.
