Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino got drenched with half a beer last night at Wrigley. Fading back toward the warning track, he absorbed the liquid and still managed to make the catch. Any doubts of Victorino’s ability to play drinking games were obviously cleared up on the spot.
As video evidence later proved, Wrigley security escorted the wrong 20-something Cubs fan out of the building.
With that said, The Suave broke down the various angles of the beer-throwing incident.
* Victorino caught Jake Fox’s just-the-tip fly ball to center. He then unknowingly took part in an impromptu wet t-shirt contest.
Strangely, I found the beer sloshing downward kind of soothing. It looked like Greg Oden was watering his garden.
Impressive catch, Shane. But the overall value is downgraded due to a poorly placed ad for Curt Schilling’s blog.
Security corralled the suspect and forced him to do the truffle shuffle as punishment. Already thoroughly embarrassed on national TV, the bucktooth messiah was then carted off to Wrigley’s Guantanamo Bay.
But wait, what about the bro on the grassy knoll?
Now, for a closer inspection of Mr. Anti-beer.
And there you have it.
The Suave would like to thank Omar Minaya for passing on his impecable investigative skills.
Oh, wait, there’s one more item. Never to be outdone by another fanbase in terms of rowdiness, a Philly phanatic just had to get in on the act. He came to Victorino’s defense and threw what appeared to be peanuts at the wrongly accused beer tosser. This man will fight for your honor, Shane.
