Houston sports icon Mattress Mack got into a verbal altercation with Phillies fans after Game Three of the World Series.
Houston lost Game 3 thanks to five home runs that were given up by Lance McCullers in the Philadelphia Phillies offense. Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, Kyle Schwarber and others incurred, hurting Houston’s chances. If they are to win the Fall Classic, they will have to return to Houston, and the Astros must finish their undefeated Phillies streak at Citizens Bank Park.
After the match, Phillies fans approached “Mattress Mack” and criticized the Astros’ performance. It’s important to note that Mac was not physically threatened, but he did get into a verbal altercation with some fans in Philadelphia.

Mattress Mack Reps Discuss the accident After the game:
“One Velez fan was teasing Mac throughout the match and followed him to the lobby at the end of the match. Fans kept yelling negative comments about the Astros including that they are a bunch of cheaters… Jose Altuve will never make it to the Hall of Fame… We should take off their shirts to see what If they’re wearing hooks. Mac has had enough of the negative comments and responded to the harasser.”
Mac did not discuss the incident on his social media on Wednesday night, but he did quote a verse from the Bible that might refer to such matters.
By all accounts, when fans said Jose Altuve wouldn’t be a Hall of Famer, Matrice Mack lost his wits. Sure, he used to call his favorite team cheaters, but Altuve?
By all accounts, Altuve himself was not involved in the cheating scheme. But not the Hall of Fame? That’s a bit too much, and Philly fans knew how to whip up Mattress Mack’s skin.
Altuve’s Cooperstown debate is a few years down the road, but it’s already brewing in Houston. You can be defensive.
