Jimmy Rollins, who already flicked the ears of Yankees fans by predicting the Phillies will win in five, continued to endear himself to New Yorkers after Game 2:
Jimmy Rollins: New York Fans Are Tame
“Our ballpark is so loud and rowdy, I was really expecting some of that here,” Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. “It was very tame and civil.”
Rollins flashed that devilish smile of his, the one that all but says, “Put it on the back page.”
From mystique and aura to tame and civil.
What has the Bronx come to?
“Expensive tickets running loud people out,” Rollins said, referring to the high prices at the new Yankee Stadium.
OK, Jimmy, but does it feel like more of a World Series than last year, when the Phillies faced the Rays?
“When we get to Philly it will,” Rollins said, flashing that smile again.
Keep in mind that “tame” as compared to Philly fans can still involve many levels of lawlessness and general debauchery.
