A fan at Citizen's Bank Park threw a beer bottle from the stands at Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard on Saturday and the team said Sunday they were investigating the incident.
As Howard was walking back to the dugout after a pinch-hitting appearance, the bottle landed near the slumping slugger's feet, Philly.com reported.
"I've done too much in this town to have that kind of stuff," Howard told reporters Sunday. "If you want to yell out 'You suck,' that's whatever. But when you start throwing stuff, that's when stuff gets personal."
Howard hasn't been in the Phillies' starting lineup the past five games but was used as a pinch hitter with two outs in the ninth inning.
