Also, having been to many Phillies games and many Eagles games, they're not exactly the same in attitude. Eagles games are tough (e.g., I'm not sure I'd wear an opposing teams's jersey to an Eagles game, though I had a coworker who wore a Cowboys jersey to an Eagles game every year when the Cowboys were in town); Phillies games are relatively tame. And nothing I've ever seen at a Phillies game compares to a Dodgers - Giants game (in either SF or LA) in terms of violence and/or threats of violence.

FWIW, here is a clip of the minute-long standing ovation that Jimmy Rollins got a year ago:
