    The "U-S-A, U-S-A" chants began at Citizens Bank Park in the ninth inning Sunday night, as the New York Mets' Daniel Murphy batted as a pinch-hitter against Philadelphia Phillies reliever Ryan Madson.And as the news filtered among the announced crowd of 45,713 -- the 137th consecutive sellout in the stadium's history -- about U.S. special forces killing accused Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, the chants grew louder and more widespread, and people could be spotted all over the ballpark cfreaking their phones."I don't like to give Philadelphia fans too much credit, but they got this one right," Mets third baseman David Wright said.

    Is there actually a national news story about how great Philly fans are? 2012 might be coming true.

    My buddy was there and he said it was the coolest thing he's seen at a game. He took his 5 yr old son and said his son really got into the USA chant.
