The Reds visited PNC Park to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series this week. Throughout Thursday's afternoon game, one fan was reportedly heckling Reds first baseman Joey Votto. After a rain delay later in the game, the heckler turned his attention to Phillips, according to Reddit: Rain delay in the 7th inning, but afterwards, he got started on Brandon Phillips. Yelling "Hey everybody, look how slow Phillips is!". My brother said the stadium was almost empty at this point, so his heckles rang loud and clear. According to him, Phillips even looked over and chuckled at one point. This Pirates fan had no chance of rattling someone who loves the spotlight the way the Reds second baseman does. After the game, Phillips gave the heckler a baseball with the following message on it: Dear Drunk Guy, Thank You 4 All The Love & Support!! Now Take This Ball And Shut The Phuck Up!! :) From Yours Truly, Brandon Phillips Don't worry, Dat Dude signed the baseball: via Reddit Phillips was a good sport about the whole thing and even took a selfie with the heckler: John Uh Fin @SonOfTheMayor Follow @DatDudeBP Thanks for the ball last night. I don't really think you're slow but Votto definitely has wide hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Lucid| Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 LOL I love BP. I think he's got a lil' Chad in him.. He needs a leader to keep him in check a bit.. If he was on a big market team he would be a household name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Skins Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 That is funny, but considering this happened in Pittsburgh, I am not surprised. Pennsylvania has a different breed of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
