Romero involved in fan altercation in St. Petersburg

Phillies reliever J.C. Romero was reportedly involved in an incident that brought the St. Petersburg police to the scene late Thursday night.

According to a report by the St. Pete Times, police responded to a battery call by 25-year old Rays fan Robert Eaton. According to Eaton, Romero allegedly grabbed him in the neck and pushed him after Eaton made a steroids-related remark.

The Phillies issued the following statement earlier today:

"We're disappointed to learn about the alleged incident with a Rays fan and one of our players following Thursday night's game at Tropicana Field. We are in the process of gathering all of the details surrounding the situation. Until such information is provided, it would be inappropriate for us to comment at this time."

We'll have to see what Romero says after the game...

His name was first reported by the St. Pete Times earlier this afternoon.
