It may not count as a true physical injury, but when a guy throws up on you on purpose there's no doubt your pride and faith in the good of humanity are seriously wounded. But that's what happened on April 14th at a Philadelphia Phillies game, a team and city known for having unruly fans.
Matthew Clemmens, 21, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey was apparently displeased with a trio of spectators from Easton, Michael Vangelo, and his two daughters, ages 11 and 15, because they were offended by his friends' vulgar language.
Clemmens and friends were reportedly heckling the Vangelos throughout the game and even spit and poured beer on the family. Finally, Clemmens' friend was ejected and he responded by punching and "projectile-vomiting" on the man and his youngest daughter.
He faces one to three months in prison and 50 hours of community service.
The Philadelphia Eagles used to have a jail in the basement of Veteran Stadium and considering some of the incidents at Citizens Bank Ballpark lately, maybe it makes sense for a slammer to be installed there.
