Carlos Santana Smashed Phillies Clubhouse TV with a Bat in 2018 to Stop Fortnite

The Philadelphia Phillies had a Fortnite problem last season.

According to a report from Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, several members of the team would play the popular video game during the team's games last season. That came to a head in September, when the Phillies lost a ninth straight game in a September collapse that cost them a postseason berth.

And veteran Carlos Santana had enough, smashing a television in the clubhouse with a bat to ensure nobody could play the game over the final two games of the season.

"I see a couple players—I don't want to say names—they play video games during the game," Santana said.
