A fan at Citizens Bank Park threw a beer bottle at Ryan Howard on Saturday after the Phillies slugger grounded out in the last at-bat of the Phillies’ 6-3 loss to the Brewers.
Howard was not hit and said he didn’t see the aluminum bottle of Bud Light Lime coming toward him. But he did see it land near him as he walked back to the Philadelphia dugout.
