At last night's Mets-Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park Field, fans got a little distracted around the eighth inning when the stadium's screen flashed the homepage of philly.com, which declared simply, "Bin Laden Dead, U.S. Has Body." Fans put aside their rivalry for the night with chants of, "USA! USA!" above the game, though it appears that the players didn't understand what was going on until a later inning. Which is absolutely a sign of conspiracy, according to one man on Twitter: "ny mets played phi phillies the night Osama was killed! They didn't come aware till the bottom of the 9th inning tied at 1-1! 9-11!"
Mets third-baseman David Wright conceded, "I don't like to give Philadelphia fans too much credit, but they got this one right, and pitcher Chris Young said, "There are some things in life that are bigger than a game. To hear the crowd chant 'USA', I got chills." The Mets wound up beating the Phillies 2-1 in the 14th inning.
