Phillies Fan Ejected by Umpire Another Unfortunate Addition to Our Legacy

Despite the Phillies pulling out a 13-8 comeback win over Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants, the headlines aren’t being drawn towards the play on the field.

Instead, the interaction between home plate umpire Bob Davidson and a fan are grabbing the headlines across the country. In fact, he was trending on Twitter for some time.

At first, it looked like he was going to address the Giants bench, but he instead pointed out the fan in the blue shirt.

Watch the video below of Davidson suddenly stepping aside in the middle of an at-bat to address the heckling fan.
