Fan Beaten To Death Outside Of Phillies Ballpark

Philadelphia sports fans are sort of notorious. Whether it's booing Santa Claus or cheering Michael Irvin when he lays motionless on the ground. It is what Philly fans are known for. And this weekend has been one of the worst of Philly fans. Already this weekend we have seen a Phillies fan point a lazer pointer at opposing players in the batters box. And now this.

Police say a group from a bachelor party got into a fight with other patrons at McFaddens Restaurant in the Citizens Bank Park complex. The trouble started at about 7 p.m. during the closing innings of Saturday night's Phillies-Cardinals game.

The groups were told to leave the bar. The dispute, which involved as many as 30 people, moved outside to a parking lot near the ballpark. Police say 22-year-old David Sale of Lansdale was assaulted there and taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was pronounced dead.

Horrific is the only word I can use to describe this.
