Does a great job of capturing what's so great about the Phanatic, especially for the uninitiated. I'm surprised that the Phillies website doesn't have this sort of thing on their site - you should make sure they know about it, so they can link to it. Really great work! I embedded your video in a post about the Phanatic on my blog: http://www.threelittlefonzies.com/?p=509. I included a link to your site, of course. This is a really terrific video.

I grew up in Philly and have been trying to tell my kids about what a great character the Phanatic is. We smiled the whole time watching it and it made me feel like I was home again.

As such, tickets were cheap and we went to games as often as we could (considering the work load of medical school). I hate to admit this, but there were several games I attended where the only thing worth watching was the antics of the Phanatic. He had a way of pissing off the opposing team that you can't imagine. They played the Braves during one game I attended and he came up to the 3rd base coach with a tomahawk and did the Braves' "chop" in a way that made it look really gay. He kept doing it until the 3rd base coach lost it and started chasing the Phanatic around the field! Later, the Phanatic came out in a Cushman cart, with a dummy dressing in a Braves' uniform in the passenger seat. He made a sudden turn, which propelled the dummy off the Cushman. Acting as though he didn't know what was happening, the Phanatic kept going forward and backward, running over the Braves "player", until someone from the Braves ran over and grabbed it. The crowd was in stitches most of the evening. The Philly's didn't play well, but the Phanatic made it worth going to the game! In the early 90′s, the Philly’s were not great.
