PHILADELPHIA (AP) – A fan attending the game between the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies has left his seat in the sixth inning shortly after a verbal confrontation with plate umpire Bob Davidson.
Davidson stopped the game Tuesday night, walked toward where the fan was sitting and had words with him after the man was yelling loudly in Davidson’s direction.
The fan was sitting 15 rows from the field behind the visitors’ dugout.
Shortly after the spat, a Phillies usher approached the fan, who quieted down. A short time later, another Phillies employee approached the man and escorted him out of his seat.
A Phillies spokesperson said Davidson complained to team security about the fan’s language and, when approached, the fan agreed to leave on his own.
