The funny thing about fans of the Philadelphia Phillies is that players that this city tends to embrace are often hated with a fiery passion by fans of other teams.
Then again, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
Phillies fans love a player that plays the game “the right way.” They want to see a player hustle hard, grind out each at-bat, or run right through a wall if that’s what the situation requires. If a guy is willing to meet those conditions, he will be embraced by this city and its passionate fans.
But there’s a flip-side to that coin.
Those types of players tend to drive fans of other teams absolutely insane. Any player that will do anything to beat you has the potential to drive you up a wall as well, and there are plenty of those guys on this list.
However, they aren’t the only ones. You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out which Phillies’ players have driven opposing fans to the brink in their careers.
