Posted: 25th May 2010 by Eric Balkman in MLB
Any shred of an inkling I ever had about wondering what would happen to me if I vomited on an off-duty cop is officially gone.
Gone like Matthew Clemmens’ dignity.
Clemmens, the 21-year-old New Jersey man who was arrested on April 14 at a Phillies game, pleaded guilty Tuesday to simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment.

Thus, we giggled like a school girl when the following picture appeared in our Inbox this past weekend.
A few notable observations:

The Phillies have gotten to this point, in part, on the basis of the best left-handed hitting in the National League.
