Phillie Phanatic destroyed a Yankees helmet, and Giancarlo Stanton was not impressed

The Phillie Phanatic strikes again.

The Phillie Phanatic is unquestionably one of the wilder mascots, and it was even recently voted the most obnoxious mascot in Major League Baseball. And to be fair, it’s been known to mess with opposing players and coaches, play practical jokes and, in 2020 when fans couldn’t attend games, it had some fun with cardboard cutouts in the stands.

It should come as no surprise that the Philadelphia Phillies’ mascot isn’t a huge fan of the New York Yankees, and the Phanatic made that clear Saturday during the first matchup in a two-game weekend series at Citizens Bank Park.

After the fifth inning, the Phillie Phanatic took the field looking stylish in a tuxedo — presumably dressed as Frank Sinatra — while New York, New York played at the ballpark.

And after riling up the Phillies fan base, it absolutely destroyed a Yankees helmet.

Yes, New York superstar Giancarlo Stanton was not impressed by the Phanatics’ antics, but a lot of baseball fans (who don’t root for the Yankees) loved it.

Forget the final score; the real winner Saturday was obviously the Phanatic.
