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.

I’ve lived a lot of places, and I am not exaggerating when I say that people in Philly were among the friendliest, on an individual or small group basis, of anywhere we lived. It’s been 15 years and we still exchange Christmas cards with some of our friends from the Philly suburb where we lived - among the few relationships we’ve maintained from that phase of our lives.

However, our experience at sporting events was freaking horrific. The fans we encountered at Phillies and Eagles games were among the most boorish, ill-behaved, rude, drunken, inconsiderate louts I’ve ever encountered - and I’ve been to Yankee Stadium as a Red Sox fan, so my bar is pretty high.

I have no idea why the dichotomy, but my wife and I still talk about it whenever we encounter that kind of behavior.

My two favorite baseball teams are the Mets and whoever is playing the Phillies.

You can include Governor Ed Rendell in that gang. He has thrown snow balls at visiting teams.

Philly Fan. I have to think hilarity will ensue on the Jim Rome show Monday, if it didn’t today.

“I can’t believe I threw up in front of a cop.”
“Face it, dude. You threw up on a cop.”

"Someone dotted that eye."

I'm thinking that he must have slipped on his own vomit and smacked his face on the arm of a seat as he was being gingerly escorted out by the authorities.

Us Mets fans aren't surly; we are just under constant suicide watch.

My favorite game last year, your guys walked in the winning run. I was surrounded by Mets fans and I couldn't stop laughing.
