Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Gibson says Philly fans are rough, but keep players on edge

Kyle Gibson is enjoying a pennant race with the Philadelphia Phillies, despite the cities historically notorious sports fans.

The Phillies trail the Atlanta Braves by 3.5 games entering Wednesday’s showdown with the Braves in Atlanta. They have five games left in the season. The Phillies last made the playoffs 10 years ago, their last winning season.

Gibson was asked about Philadelphia’s fans on KTCK/1310 AM “The Ticket.” He was traded from the Texas Rangers at the July trade deadline.

Are the fans rough?

“They are, but it’s fun,” Gibson told The Hang Zone.
