Phillies fans lived up to their ruthless reputation on Friday … chanting “DUI” at Braves star outfielder Marcell Ozuna during Philadelphia’s playoff game against Atlanta.
It all went down in the first inning at Citizens Bank Park in Philly — Ozuna was up for his first at-bat of the afternoon … when the fans trolled him over his August arrest.

“DUI! DUI! DUI!” the Philly faithful chanted in unison as 31-year-old Ozuna swung at an 81 MPH slider from Phillies’ right-hander Aaron Nola.
Ozuna — a 10-year MLB veteran — was arrested for DUI after police in Georgia pulled him over for speeding and failing to maintain his lane while on the road.
Ozuna — in his third season with the Braves — told police on the scene that he was heading to a party at a nearby nightclub to celebrate his team’s win over the Mets earlier.
Ozuna ultimately took responsibility for his actions … telling the media that he was “disappointed” about the incident and expressing remorse to his teammates and family.
But despite the mea culpa, Philadephia fans seem adamant about jeering Ozuna at the plate … as the Phillies and defending World Series champs, battle it out on the field.
