Keith Hernandez got himself into some hot water with Philadelphia Phillies fans earlier this month when he said on a recent SNY broadcast of a New York Mets game that he hates doing Philly games.
Why? Because the Gold Glove winner dislikes their fundamentals and defense. And while he’s not wrong — the Phillies are more built to hit dingers as fair as their lineup goes — he angered all of the city.
But the Phillies’ broadcast from NBC Sports Philadelphia has gotten back at Hernandez, with a “Keith Hernandez Fundamental Play” sticker for slick defensive plays. LOL.
Check out what had fans buzzing on Wednesday:
