CHICOPEE- When 40-year-old Charles Hillios traveled to Yankee Stadium on Aug. 29, 2007, to watch his Boston Red Sox take on the rival New York Yankees, his team wasn't the only one to take a beating. Nearly a year later, Hillios has filed a federal lawsuit against the Yankees, a stadium security firm and two Yankees fans he claims beat him during the game. In the lawsuit, Hillios says he was harassed by two Yankees fans because he was cheering for the Red Sox. The suit says that security at the ballpark warned the two Yankees fans to leave Hillios alone, but when Hillios went to the concession stand the two men followed him and "viciously attacked and physically assaulted" him.Shawn Sellick and Daniel Benjamin were arrested at the stadium on the night of the beating and later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges, according to the New York Post. The newspaper quotes from the criminal complaint that Benjamin threw Hillios to the ground and squeezed his neck so tightly that Hillios couldn't breathe. Sellick then "kicked (him) in his face, torso and legs." Hillios told the New York Post he's doing better physically, but is scheduled for a second eye surgery.

This is unbelievable!   UNBELIEVABLE!     No, not the story, but the pictures!   I mean come on!  These guys have to fake right!   Seriously is Shawn Cellick a real person or just an actor playing the role of the asshole Yankee fan?   Because this is just too perfect!  I mean he nailed it all the way down to his Bluetooth ear piece which you know isn’t actually connected to anything.    And no offense to Charles Hillios but something tells me he wasn’t just an innocent bystander either.  Both of these guys have fight written all over them.     I feel like I’m reading the Onion or something except I’m not.  Or am I?   Again I ask how can Shawn Cellick be real?   God better not be playing a joke on me.
