Lhe intensity of the World Series in the City of Brotherly Love was amplified when two local businesses refused to feed the Astros before Game 3 on Tuesday. Angelo’s Pizzeria in South Philadelphia, an institution in the city, refused to provide food service to visitors. “If you think I’d cook for the Astros, you’re crazy,” a man said in a video posted to the restaurant’s Instagram account. “we told them no“.
The Astros didn’t have much luck at Mike’s barbecue, either. The restaurant posted a text message with the team that didn’t seem to get very far.
Yes ok Houston is widely hated by various fans in the MLB, and at least one Phillies player on the roster , the treatment may have nothing to do with the franchise’s recent history of cheating. It seems more likely that it’s just a good old-fashioned dose of Philadelphia hospitality.
With the 2022 World Series Tied at one game apiece before Tuesday, the Astros had no respite on the field: The Phillies hit three home runs in the first two innings of Game 3.
