Kate Upton won't allow a Philadelphia Phillies fan to disparage her husband, Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander. In a video from a recent World Series game, the Sports Illustrated model is seen giving a Phillies fan two middle fingers.
When Upton visited her husband at Citizens Bank Park, the home of the Phillies, for Game 5 of the World Series, the fans were extremely nasty, going so far as to start chanting "Where's Kate Upton," all in an effort to disrupt Verlander's focus.
Over the weekend, Upton’s footage circulated on social media.
