Beautiful Fall Day In Philadelphia

After last night’s rain, today is a perfect fall day here in Philadelphia. There’s not a cloud in the sky and it is cool and crisp. The parking lots at the Phillies’ stadium started filling early with tailgaters enjoying the autumn weather. Across the street, the Eagles played host to the Falcons in an NFL game. And tonight, at one of the arenas in this sports complex, The Who is in concert. In all, it’s quite a Sunday in this part of South Philadelphia.
We’ve encountered very few Rays fans at the ballpark. Those who were here last night said they were swore at, pushed and treated rudely by some of the fans. They also said other fans were apologetic about the behavior of some of their fellow Philadelphians.

I met my son in Philly for game 3. Having heard the stories about Philly fans, we were anxious to see if they lived up to their reputation. They did and they didn’t. On the whole, they were friendly. We wore our Rays gear with no problem. We wandered the stadium throughout the rain delay and aside from one expletive, the worst we heard was “boo Tampa.” Not a single shoulder bump in two hours.
But some of the fans are brutal to their team and anyone else who inspired their ire. We had one fan around us who even booed the award ceremonies between innings (how do you boo the Boys and Girls Club?).
Don’t believe, however, about how fanatical the fans are. They sat on their hands for 70% of the game. The Trop is louder by far.
