Cops seek man who threw beer bottle at Ryan Howard

Police are looking for the fan who tossed a beer bottle at Ryan Howard at Citizens Bank Park this weekend.

Philadelphia police on Monday described the incident as a disorderly conduct case and said the person who threw the bottle at the Phillies first baseman was a white man who was 30 to 35 years old and had a medium build and reddish-brown hair.

The man was wearing a blue Phillies hat with a red brim, a gray Phillies shirt with red lettering and faded red shorts, police said.

An image of the fan purported to have tossed the bottle, widely circulated on social media, appeared to match that description, though officials hadn't released a photo of the person as of late Monday morning.
