When you look up the words “class act” in the dictionary, this asswipe’s face should be staring back at you:
Here’s the story from the Daily Times:
Capt. Michael Vangelo and his 16- and 11-year-old girls drove down from the Lehigh Valley to watch the Phillies take on the Washington Nationals Wednesday night when the alleged assault occurred, police said.
Vangelo, 43, says from the moment his family took their seats, a group of unruly men starting disturbing anyone near them.
“They were yelling vulgarities, obscene language,” Vangelo said Thursday.
“I had beer thrown on me and water and then one individual started spitting at the back of my daughter’s chair and he actually spit on my 11-year-old daughter,” he said.
Vangelo went to report the men to ushers, who promptly ejected them from the game. The man says everything seemed fine until another fan got involved.
That fan — identified by police as Matthew Clemens — was sitting with another, unrelated group of fans who were also disciplined for acting out when he allegedly did what Vangelo describes as the “most disgusting thing” he’s ever seen.
Clemens, 21, positioned himself behind the 11-year-old’s chair, stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on the girl and her father, police said.
Clemens then began wailing on Vangelo after he pushed him away from the girl — hitting the off-duty officer in the head and neck, causing his ear to bleed, police said.
Surrounding fans jumped in to help subdue Clemens before he was arrested.
Not that they care, but if Philly fans were seeking a better rep, this chode just put them back a few hundred decades. It’s a shame that a man can’t take his family to a ballgame for less than $500 anymore. What’s worse is that even when he does pony up, he can’t enjoy the day because a couple of idiots can’t act like human beings around him and his family.
Here’s hoping Clemens gets corn-holed in prison.
