Philly Fans Put on Braves and Mets Gear and Punch Each Other in the Face
Only in Philadelphia! This only happens in Philadelphia!
The Mets won both games of a doubleheader against the Braves on Saturday while this unfolded in the stands:

These Philly fans! I tell ya what.
Okay, so we’ve got a guy trying to go 1v2 vs. two other guys wearing Jacob deGrom jerseys. Blue hat/blue shirt peacekeeper guy is trying to restrain the Braves fan and while doing that, both deGroms punch Braves fan right in the face. Looks like a brutal 1-2 combo there, like Usman and Masvidal from a few months ago.
Some other guy responded to this tweet with an update that we have not seen confirmed by a reputable outlet, but here’s his account:
“Security has not ejected the guys who threw the punches but the Braves fan victim was ejected. The assaulters are still sitting in section 106”
“Assaulters” may have been ejected as well, according to some other random Twitter accounts. We’ll continue to comb through the depths of social media/hell in pursuit of real information here. It’s unclear who started the brouhaha, so we can’t rule out either party being responsible for starting this melee. The one thing we feel comfortable reporting is that all four people in this video are scumbags, since they are either Mets or Braves fans.
