Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker kept his family away from the opening game in Philadelphia due to concerns over the "hostile crowd" at Citizens Bank Park.

Despite acknowledging the passion and energy of the Philadelphia fan base, Snitker prioritized his family's safety and well-being during the games.
