Brett Phillips is a character by every sense of the word. Phillips went viral in his early career for his laugh that sounds like a serial killer. He then had a huge moment in the World Series that people will never forget. It was one of the more memorable games in recent baseball history. Phillips is playing nearly every day for the defending AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays. And after Tampa swept the New York Yankees this weekend, Phillips decided to bow to the crowd. The Bronx Zoo did not take that lightly and handled it in the way we would expect them to.

A stat you HATE to see: The Rays have now beaten the Yankees 18 out of the last 23 times they’ve played them. pic.twitter.com/xpFeDVFX5v

As Barstool notes here, Tampa has now beat the Yankees in 18 of their last 23 games. That is pure ownership right there, folks. I’m sure the Yankees players will see this from Phillips. Not sure if it would make them mad or not. Phillips dropped the ‘stay classy NY’ on his Instagram which if you know me, you know I hate the term ‘stay classy’ But I’ll let Maverick slide with this one. Helluva weekend for Yankees fans with throwing shit on the field and yelling obscenities at players.

Charlie.
