Try to imagine the reaction if the following scenario had played out at Citizens Bank Park.

A Cubs outfielder is drifting back toward the wall, taking bead on a long fly ball, face skyward, glove extended.

Then, just before that Rawlings smacked into the leather, he was smaked in the face with a cup of beer.

Well, that’s precisely what happened to Shane Victorino last night in Wrigley Field.

The Phillies outfielder got a faceful of foam, but somehow managed to keep his concentration and still made the catch. The fan was ejected.

No doubt this won’t get the nearly the national condemnation it would if such a transgression were to occur here in Philly, where it would quickly mushroom into a national debate on Philly fans.

Not so much for those loveable legions of Cubbies’ fans.

I like the way Victorino handled the situation. After the game, he didn’t really want to talk about it.

“It was a beer, so let’s not talk about it,” he said.

Nice play, Shane.

We await the national debate on fan behavior that does not occur in Philly.

My guess is we’ll be left crying in our beers.
