“Yes, that was a U.S. Supreme Court justice at Citizens Bank Park for the Phillies World Series game; The Astros have a polarizing fan in U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, the Phillies have Justice Samuel Alito”: Ximena Conde of The Philadelphia Inquirer has this report.

I did not see Justice Alito at last night’s game (he was seated on the third base side, while I was on the first base side, and his seat was one level below mine, but chances are he didn’t get a foul ball (or give it to a little kid in the row ahead of him)).
