Did I celebrate TOO MUCH at Citizens Bank Park? City Connect action and brotherly love

Dear Phillies fans: I'm sorry. I really am. I like your team. I like your stadium. I only wore Giants gear briefly to increase my chances of snagging a "City Connect" commemorative baseball, but hey, now that you know about these balls, go catch one for yourself! Whenever the Phillies wear their snazzy City Connect uniforms, these special balls should be used during the game. Hopefully this'll be a thing beyond the 2024 season, but you never know, so go make it happen ASAP.

As for the question about excessive celebrating, I think the answer is no. Can you blame me for being so happy? Also, my friend Ben (@benny_bang_bang) unexpectedly rushed down the stairs and sat on my lap. Is that MY fault?

As for the Phillies themselves, it was great seeing Bryce Harper up close along with Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, J.T. Realmuto, and other guys too. It's crazy how good this team is.

Shoutout to Reggie the vendor. He's amazing and if you wanna show HIM some brotherly love, his Instagram is @regiloosky89

I'd also like to tip my cap (a Phillies cap, to be clear) to the Philly Captain. As I mentioned in the video, he and I have had a little beef over the years, but when we happened to see each other outside the Team Store, he was really cool. His Insta is @thephillycaptain and speaking of beef, we've been emailing a bit and discussing pre-game cheesesteaks next time I visit Citizens Bank Park.

Fist-bump to Luke. He's the best. If you see him around the stadium, go say hi and mention that you saw him in my video. I bet he'll appreciate it.

This video was filmed by Rachel Messbauer on May 3, 2024, and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films) who's a Phillies fan, btw, so I'm sure he was celebrating too while he worked on this. Thanks for watching!

  • It's nice you got to go to the Phillies city connect game and get a commemorative ball. I went the CBP the next night and it was my 30th MLB stadium. Of course, the fans only got 60 seconds of BP this entire weekend since there was no BP on Saturday or Sunday due to rain.
