Victorino gets doused with beer at Wrigley
During the Phillies’ 12-5 trouncing of the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, Philadelphia outfielder Shane Victorino received a beer shower from some idiot fan while trying to catch a fly ball on the warning track.
Here’s a complete breakdown of the scene, including how security busted the wrong guy:
Couple thoughts:
1. What concentration shown by Victorino to still make the play while the beer (and cup) was being poured on him. It wasn’t like he caught the ball after the beer bath – he caught it during it.
2. It’s a crime against humanity that the ass clown in the white T-shirt and novelty wristband (did he think if he wore a wristband to the stadium that they would let him into the game or something?) didn’t get tossed from the game, but the innocent bystander to his left did. Gotta love how he allowed someone else to receive blame for the incident while he got to stay and watch the rest of the game.
3. Any fan that intentionally throws something onto the field (save for an opposing team’s home run ball) or touches a ball along the side of the field while it’s still in play deserves to be thrown off the top of the stadium. I can’t for the life of me figure out why you would pay upwards of $75 to go to a game and either throw something at a player or touch a ball while it’s still in play.
4. That fan deserved to watch the Phillies lay the wood to his hapless team. And any time he goes to Wrigley from here on out, may the Cubs lose.





I was watching this live and the broadcasters had you convinced that the chubby guy was the one who threw it. He was so hammered and looked like he was having a blast. Turns out he was just hammered, not mean-spirited enough to through a beer on a player. Hopefully he can use this video and get back into Cubs games. Like any real Cubs fan, I’m he will go to the proper lengths.
Great piece of investigative journalism! The culprit’s body language is prefect, too: He’s the only one pointing and trying to deflect attention.
