It’s sad when I yearn for more Yankees fans but that’s what Philly fans do I guess.

I guess it all depends on one’s definition of “marrying age,” doesn’t it?

I think Diaz might just like the fact that there are fans in the stands at all..

Speaking as a Phillies fan, I just want to say that I appreciate your looking beneath the tough, brutal and cynical front we so often present to the world to see the delicate, unique snowflakes we all are deep down underneath. We may throw snowballs at Santa, but it’s only because in our heart of hearts, we’re still hurting. All we want is love. Well, that and a six game lead by the time this series with the Braves wraps up.

You don’t have to wait until she’s marrying age unless you want to get all “technical” about it.

My favorite part of the story (from mlb.com):
The Phillies fans seemed to appreciate Diaz’s action and cheered after he forced the man to fall to the ground. The Braves outfielder responded with a tip of the cap.
“I like the Philly fans,” Diaz said. “They’re fun to mess around with. Sometimes they’re attention-starved. So if you turn around during the game, they’ll treat you right. They’ve always treated me right here.”
