FAIL! Phillies Fan Tries to Scale the Yuengling Sign During World Series

A few more beers and he would’ve had it, definitely.

If the World Series broadcast would have shown this sort of thing, Yuengling Brewery could have gotten itself quite the promotion during Game 5 on Thursday night.

But as the announcers always say, “We don’t want to show this sort of thing … “

Without pomp, the fan was escorted off the field. Then, the Phillies went on to lose Game 5 and fall behind in the World Series, 3 games to 2.
