Heading into Monday’s game, the Philadelphia Phillies had the worst record in baseball at 34-62 and were 10.5 games out of second-to-last place in the NL East. However, because the Phillies are so bad, their fans can get tickets for pretty cheap, and it can still be fun to spend a day at the ballpark. Just make sure you come prepared for the bad baseball to come, like this fan who embraced it with a beer in each hand.
Let’s look at that one more time zoomed in.

Yep, those are double-fisted beers. And at stadium prices, too. But that seems reasonable when you’re cheering for the worst team in the league, and they’re trailing 5-1 at home. (That deficit would expand to 12-1 by the seventh inning.) Hopefully this man wasn’t at the Phillies-Brewers game two days ago, when a pick-off attempt gone wrong allowed the Brewers’ Ryan Braun to score from first base. Now that’s something that could definitely drive you to drink.
