Philadelphia Police
A man is behind bars after allegedly assaulting an off-duty Easton police captain and his two daughters at Citizens Bank Park.
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.

Which teams?
Your presupposition is that anybody cares what you think.
Rant to somebody who cares.
Dodger Stadium’s gotten worse over the years to where I’d rather watch the game on TV. It’s a damn shame.
Angel Stadium’s seemed okay the five or six times I’ve been down there. ‘Really cool when Indians fans show up in all their warpaint and other “art”.
one awful nauseating story.
I wrote a letter to the Phillies which was totally ignored. No reply. Philadelphia is a low class / no class black and Italian ghetto where the more violent you are the more you're respected. Go to dinner or a concert in Philadelphia???? You'd have to be ought of your mind.
I’ve been to about 40+ games at Oriole Park and Nationals Park, and the Red Sox fans have been the worst. Yankees fans were so-so, but we did have one game where a group of Yankees fans got WAY out of control.
Other than that, we’ve had few, if any, issues. We swore off going to any games against the Sox or Yankees, but most of the time these days we just enjoy the games in HD. ;-)
We have a family friend who plays for Detriot, so whenever the Tigers come to Camden Yards we try to go. I love Camden Yards.
You wrote to Giles?My husband got 4 free tickets when he wrote.Our family goes to the games all the time with no problems.

Ditto Marlins fans. When I used to go to games at Pro Robbie Ex, it was sad to see that there were usually more fans of the visiting team than that of the Fish.
That’s the problem with any professional franchise in the South, the carpetbaggers still root for their old teams. Hey I admit it, I’ve lived here in Dallas for 20 years, and my teams are still the Lions and Tigers, although I have switched my allegiance from the Red Wings to the Stars.
“I wonder where Pirate fans would be on the list...the problem is we can’t find any.”
Oh. I’m still here. I just don’t like to fight.
PNC Park has become an economical way for baseball fans to enjoy watching their team win on the road!!! Why pay all of that cash for a seat in Fenway or Yankee Stadium when you can travel to glorious, People’s Republic of Pittsburgh and see your team destroy one of baseball’s finest AAAA teams around! For what would be the price of 3 tickets to a winning team’s park, you could probably fly to Pittsburgh 1st class, get a five star hotel room, and get great seats to see your team slaughter our young battling’ Buccos.
Don’t post crap on a newsgroup then...
At least it was projectile vomitus. That type is more dramatic.(Philadelphia is such a classy place!)
Dog bites man.
