Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets fans rarely can find common ground between one another. Yet, on this day 10 years ago (May 1, 2011) — in the ninth inning of a tied nationally televised National League East division battle — they did just that.
Phillies and Mets fans came together one decade ago in support of the U.S.
All around Citizens Bank Park, just after midnight, the crowd chanted “USA! USA!” after learning about reports that Osama Bin Laden was killed and President Barack Obama would soon address the nation to provide an update on the breaking news situation.
