Sometimes apologizing just isn't enough.
After Rhys Hoskins got into an altercation with a fan at Citizens Bank Park on Monday - which he later apologized for - the person he argued with just isn't ready to walk away.
The fan detailed the incident in a blog, and said he'd continue to try to get under the Philadelphia Phillies outfielder's skin.
This guy is making $552K this season and he has the balls to tell an average fan to go home. I will be going back tonight in the same seats and I will make it a point to heckle him after every strikeout against (Luis) Severino. This was an unbelievable statement from him last night and I have lost all respect for the guy. I am thinking about starting a go fund me for Hoskins to start seeing a shrink twice a week but then again that might not be enough!
In a video posted on Twitter, Hoskins, who struggled to an 0-for-4 showing at the plate with two strikeouts versus the New York Yankees on Monday, is seen telling someone in the stands to "Go home" before coming out of his team's dugout to continue jawing at the fan.

When asked about the altercation in a postgame interview, Hoskins said he shouldn't have acted the way he did.
"It shouldn't happen, it can't happen," Hoskins told Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic. "I was in the wrong."
