A video shared online shows Houston businessman Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale cursing out a Philadelphia Phillies fan after the team's 7-0 win against the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday (November 1) night.
McIngvale, 71, who placed a $10 million futures bet on the hometown Astros to win the World Series earlier this year, was shown repeatedly yelling "f*** you" while being held back by two people.
On Wednesday (November 2) morning, McIngvale tweeted, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21," seemingly in response to the incident going viral.

"Now I know why they call it the City of Brotherly Love," McIngvale tweeted in a separate post showing his interaction with opposing fans. "These @Phillies fans couldn’t be nicer. Our @astros are still going to win tonight!"
The Phillies defeated the Astros, 7-0, tying a World Series single-game record with five home runs hit on Tuesday night, all of which came off Houston starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., which was also a record for most allowed by one pitcher in a World Series game.
Philadelphia currently leads the series 2-1 heading into Game 4 on Wednesday (November 2) night.
