PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin has been suspended from Phillies home games for the rest of the season after investigations by his employer showed he kissed a worker for Citizens Bank Park's food service provider without consent. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday that Audacy, the parent company for Philadelphia's SportsRadio 94WIP, said in a statement it learned of the "unwelcome kiss" of the Aramark employee by Eskin and "immediately investigated."
