Trea Turner Thanks Phillies Fans for Standing Ovations with Billboard

Philadelphia fans aren't notorious for their ability to be forgiving.

That's why Trea Truner has been especially grateful to the City of Brotherly Love as it has embraced him amid his struggles during his first season with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Fans have continued to give Turner a standing ovation when he steps to the plate, giving him the type of encouragement not often seen for high-paid superstars who are in a slump.

And to show his gratitude, the 30-year-old shortstop took out billboards across the city saying thank you to the Phillies' faithful, further endearing himself to the fanbase.
