Brandon Phillips is always one to make a fan's day if his Twitter feed is any indication, and it appears he's willing to do the same for the opposition.
According to an /r/baseball user, Thursday's Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds game was a particularly entertaining day for Phillips, who was being pestered by the Reddit user's apparently drunk brother:
Rain delay in the 7th inning, but afterwards, [my brother] got started on Brandon Phillips. Yelling "Hey everybody, look how slow Phillips is!". My brother said the stadium was almost empty at this point, so his heckles rang loud and clear. According to him, Phillips even looked over and chuckled at one point.
@DatDudeBP Thanks for the ball last night. I don't really think you're slow but Votto definitely has wide hips. pic.twitter.com/XAD1YK8RdG

Phillips rewarded the fan for sticking out the weather with a photo and a signed ball that read:
"Dear Drunk Guy, Thank you 4 all the love & support!! Now take this ball and shut the phuck up!!"
