Video: Guy Cons Fans Into Thinking He’s A Phillie

In the sad but hilarious department, the Sporting News picked up on this Phillies fan who conned some people at FanFest this week.

The name on his jersey says “C Yeager,” and most of us know there’s no such player with that name in any level of the Phillies system. But a lot of fans, evidently, didn’t know that, and attacked Yeager to sign their memorabilia. Of course, he obliged, and fans newly paid items depreciated quicker than Rafael Palmeiro’s rookie card.

It’s a little sad that this guy would be so cruel to fans, but then again, how can these people call themselves fans?

Tim Malcolm

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
