Yonder AlonsoYonder Alonso is not too happy with the Phillie Phanatic.
The first baseman was running onto the field Saturday for pregame warm-ups when the Phanatic’s ATV came within a foot of hitting Alonso.
“I didn’t see him coming and he was driving way too fast,” said Alonso. “I was moving around the kids’ choir getting ready to sing the National Anthem when he flew past me on his ATV. I would have sued him.
Alonso’s career-best, nine-game hitting streak ended Sunday. He was 15-for-36 during the streak. He has hit safely in 14 of his last 16 games (23-for-60).
