Okay, stop with your vendetta against Phillies fans...I live in the city and go to MANY games with my Boston gear on, and it's no worse then any other city. This notion that Phillies fans are just the scum of the earth is insane.

I may not be a Phillies fan per se, but I'd have thrilled jsut to experience that kind of atmosphere.
