Ryan Howard’s difficult season took an ugly turn on Saturday afternoon when a fan threw a beer bottle at the Phillies first baseman following the team’s 6-3 loss to Milwaukee.

The bottle landed near Howard’s feet as he walked back to the dugout.Howard alerted a security guard at Citizens Bank Park, who picked up the green aluminum Bud Light Lime bottle. It was tasteless, Howard said.

“I’ve done too much in this town to have that kind of stuff,” Howard said. “If you want to yell out ‘You suck,’ that’s whatever. But when you start throwing stuff, that’s when stuff gets personal.”

A Phillies spokeswoman said the team is investigating the incident.

4. Those aluminum "bottles" are also pretty harmless

I imagine you could beat someone with a full one, but it might as well have been an empty can.

3. ...the green aluminum Bud Light Lime bottle. It was tasteless, Howard said
