CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The Phillie Phanatic may have finally met his match.

Recognized for his antics and high jinks, the Phanatic got a taste of his own medicine Sunday afternoon when Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who is also known for his in-game shenanigans, turned the tables on the fluffy green mascot.

Shortly before first pitch between the Tigers and Phillies, Cabrera managed to get the keys to the Phanatic's all-terrain vehicle, which he uses to cruise around on the field between innings at Bright House Field.

It's pretty obvious what happened next.

After a lengthy standoff between the two around the visiting dugout, Cabrera tossed the keys into the stands -- but only after the Phanatic jokingly called on first-base umpire Eric Cooper and a security guard to help mitigate the situation.
