Mattress Mack: 'I was told [Phillies fans] are the worst fans ever. I expected the best, and I got the worst.' So what set him off in that viral video?
That was Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, the Houston furniture-store owner and Major League gambler, talking to a Texas news outlet about the viral video that shows him cursing out some rival Philadelphia Phillies fans following Game 3 of the 2022 World Series.
McIngvale, 71, told local news station KHOU-TV that a man he described as a “drunk guy” began heckling him about the Astros sign-stealing scandal on Tuesday night. McIngvale said the verbal altercation caught on video began when some Phillies fans began insulting Altuve, in particular. “When they said ‘Altuve’s a f—king cheater, he’ll never make the Hall of Fame,’ that sent me over the edge,” he said. “I stand up for Houston when they’re right, and I stand up for Jose Altuve. Jose is one of the greatest Astros of all time, he’s a great person and a great ambassador for Houston.
“Mattress Mack” has also been making headlines for putting his money where his mouth is. He has placed $10 million in bets across numerous sportsbooks that the Astros will beat the Phillies in the World Series — which, again, could pay out an eye-watering $75 million. These wagers include $3 million placed in May with Caesars Sportsbook at 10-to-1 odds, which would pay $30 million should the Astros win the World Series.
