Phillie Phanatic hilariously confronted Keith Hernandez in the Mets’ booth with a blow-up doll of Keith Hernandez

The Phanatic doesn’t quickly forgive and forget, Keith!

It’s been an interesting past week or so between Mets legend Keith Hernandez and the Philadelphia Phillies.

First, the now-SNY broadcaster said he doesn’t like calling Phillies games because he thinks the team has poor fundamentals. That, of course, understandably angered the city of Philadelphia. A little later, the local Phillies broadcast poked fun at Hernandez with his “seal of approval” any time the Phillies made a solid defensive play.

With the Mets and Hernandez visiting the Philadelphia (-120) on Friday night, you just knew the Phillies would have another stunt ready.

Though I don’t think anyone was ready for the mascot, Phillie Phanatic, to bring a blow-up doll of Hernandez (!) and a fake gold glove (you know, for defense) to confront the broadcaster in the Mets’ booth.

The results were predictably wild:

Oh man, that’s hilarious! Talk about a commitment to a bit. I mean, for the Phanatic, the poor guy might be taking Hernandez’s slights a little more seriously. Kudos to Hernandez for laughing it off and being a good sport after sparking up some tension in this NL East rivalry.
