The Houston Astros are in a 2-1 hole against the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series, and it seems the pressure is starting to get to Mattress Mack. The renowned Houston furniture tycoon and high-stakes sports bettor has a whopping $75 million riding on the Astros to win the World Series. Some Phillies fans had some fun at Mack's expense after Game 3, and the 71-year-old did not take kindly to their antics. In a clip that has since gone viral, Mattress Mack could be seen shouting expletives at a group of Phillies fans who were likely giving him grief over the loss.

One can only imagine the amount of chirping Phillies fans have probably directed at Mack throughout the series, and it seems he reached his boiling point on Tuesday night.
Unfortunately for Mack, the next two games of the World Series will also be held in Philadelphia, so if he wants to be in attendance at the game, he'll be deep into enemy lines. The series will return to Houston for Games 6 and 7, if necessary, where the surroundings will be a lot more friendly and favorable for Mattress Mack.
