Drunk Pirates Fan Gets Heckled Back By Reds Brandon Phillips

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – In case you missed it, Cincinnati Reds player Brandon Phillips had a hilarious way of dealing with a drunk heckler while playing the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.

It happened during Wednesday's rain-delayed Pirates-Reds game.

A Pirates fan was reportedly heckling Phillips from the first base line.

After the game Phillips went over and signed a ball gave it to him, and even took a selfie.

The fan's brother posted it on his twitter account.

The ball said: "Dear Drunk Guy, thank you 4 all the love & support!! Now take this ball and shut the [expletive] up!!
From yours truly,

Brandon Phillips"

The photos quickly went viral.
