Philadelphia Phillies fans have a storied history of booing things (Santa Claus, injured players etc), but today they added "robots" to that long list. A special pitch-throwing robot was carted out to the mound to throw an inaugural first pitch. Sadly, that pitch was about 10 feet too short and the Phillies fans let the robot have it.
