Watch The Phillie Phanatic Drop A Foul Ball And Get Booed

For the most part, the Phillie Phanatic is the most infallible mascot around who wouldn’t dare get booed in Philadelphia under any circumstances. BUT there is also a cardinal rule the fans of Citizens Bank Park swear by — if any fan is in position to catch a foul ball and doesn’t haul it in, he or she gets mercilessly booed to the point of humiliation.
Unfortunately for the fuzzy green fella, he happened to misplay a weak foul into the crowd on the third base side this evening, and the fans were forced to decide…
Do they boo him, or give him the benefit of the doubt and let it slide? Take a look:

There isnt another mascot in sports that would even try to do that. but, as the rule of the park goes, he didnt catch the ball, he gets booed, its a risk u take. i also would like to point out the arm one fan had in throwing back kelly johnsons homerun ball, it was a fairly deep shot and the fan made a nice throw, getting the ball a decent distance onto the field. just another reason we r better than everyone else

of course we booooed….i dont know what was better though—the phanatic dropping that pop-up, or him dancing with the sixers girls.

At some point, do you ever wonder if we Philly fans will suddenly experience an obligation to boo, though under normal circumstances we might not? Like when Monty Python fans continually ask John Cleese to do that “silly walk” thing?

@Chamo: BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
