Romero Attacks Fan

Following Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, an unidentified Phillies player, which has not been identified at J.C Romero, was involved in an incident with a Rays fan.

“We are disappointed to learn about the alleged incident with a Rays fan and one
of our players following Thursday night’s game at Tropicana Field,” the Phillies
said Saturday in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering all of the
details surrounding the situation. Until such information is provided, it would
be inappropriate for us to comment at this time.”

The St. Petersburg Times reported that a police dispatcher confirmed a report for a battery call at 11 PM at Tropicana Field.

Rays fans Robert Eaton claims Romero grabbed him by the throat and pushed him after Eaton made a steroid comment.
