Fast Times at Citizen's Bank Park

PHILADELPHIA -- A New Jersey man is facing charges after police say he intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl and her father in the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game.

Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., was arraigned Friday on charges stemming from his behavior at Wednesday night's Phillies-Nationals game.

Police say Clemmens made himself vomit on an off-duty police captain and his daughter after a companion was kicked out of Citizens Bank Park for unruly behavior, which included cursing, spitting and spilling beer by Clemmens and a friend.

Even better:

"It reminds you of the type of behavior you used to hear about at the 700 level in Veterans Stadium," Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore, according to the Daily News.

Well the lesson here as always, the Phillies as an organization are just on another level.  Other places you get hit with beer maybe.  You get a few shouts maybe.  You got shoved maybe.  Not in Philly baby!  Here we've got Chunk from the Goonies yakking on people.  That's why we're the class on the National League -- it's an honor earned, not just given.
