I live in south philly. It's not just in the stadiums. When big plays are made, you can hear cheering from the neighbors and the bars, cars honking horns... groups singing dancing on our own. Its surreal
Yep. My kids were real young during that 07-11 era and only really remember seeing the sad fall. It’s cool to be able to live it with them with this team.
@@umVortex lol I was a junior / senior at temple. Wild times. I remember the eerie silence walking back to Cecil from. Wolf and broad after watching the phils lose the '09 WS. Cops on every block but nothing popped off
As an older fan from South Jersey, it reminds me of 93. I was at game 6 when we beat the Braves. What a wild night that was. Unfortunately, I still can't get Joe Carter out of my nightmares. Lol
The truth finally is coming out. This is a phenomenal fan base and it’s time the narrative of Philly fans being the worst to end. Horrible drunken fans, mostly young men, exist everywhere, but almost all Philly fans are passionate, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and loyal! We are dialed in and we truly care. Thanks for repping us!
You still have people throwing out the jabs about fans throwing batteries onto the field. While i certainly don't approve of that behavior, it happened 50 years ago. Enough already. We don't throw batteries on the field when someone is struggling, we stand up, applaud and let him know he's got our support. We are the epitome of 'no one likes us, we don't care!'
Not only does the owner have very deep.pockets he is a down to earth guy. He often walks thru the stands talking to fans. Phillies probably have the best GM & a fantastic coach. Harper reminds me a little of Pete Rose. He will never be the fastest runner, most home runs, most RBI's but the guy never gives up and would run thru a wall to prevent opponent from getting a hit. He did deserve the MVP award last season.
Wow, he really talks to "fans"? That's just incredible, actually talking to "fans", let's elect him to sainthood, for talking to "fans".......Pete Rose is a piece of garbage, and to compare Harper to Rose is very unfair to Harper, who is nothing like Rose (in all the good ways)
@@charlied2449 yup, before and after every game. Both of my nieces met him, one niece went to game one, and the other to game 2, and he stayed after both games until every kid got a baseball and a picture. He seems like a really really good dude.
@@charlied2449 WOW, he's a Saint, sounds like, eh.....he actually talks to people, and gives out baseballs?? OMG, and personally doing it? (which is redundant)
They beat the hell out of my Marlins and by god after that I've been riding for the Phillies I'm gonna ride with them till the wheels fall off. This team is so exciting to watch regardless of losing or winning.
From a Philly fan the Marlinnsare the one team I don’t like playing at the end of the season. THey like to beat us and I respect that. Appreciate the support in the post season. I hope we both have a lot to cheer about.
I live outside of Philly. On game day EVERY person has Phillies gear. If I screamed “Go Phillies” at any given time it would be met with cheers. Doesn’t matter where. Doesn’t matter when. It’s a different feeling
I used to hate Middleton because he refused to go over the luxury tax threshold, but now he's turned a corner and it's amazing to see. The man is just a Phillies fan who happens to be rich. he stays after games and throws balls to fans in the stands, he celebrates wins with his players, he goes into the stands during games to sit with fans it's crazy. Hopefully this year we can live up to what he said to Ryan Howard in the clubhouse after the loss in '09: "Ryan, I want my fucking trophy back. It's fucking ours."
He was also the only owner that allowed fans to congregate outside the park during the Covid game. *Phandemic Krew* He even went up and talked to them, brought the Phantic up. Middleton even walks around the ballpark during games, even in the higher sections. We’re so lucky as a fan base (Lurie with the Eagles, too) to have an owner that actually wants to win, unlike other franchises (A’s, O’s, Reds, Pirates…)
Middleton wasn't the controlling owner until 2014, and even then he didn't have a majority ownership (still doesn't). When he said they wouldn't go over the luxury tax that was the team's position. He couldn't come out and say he wanted to but the other owners didn't. That would be unprofessional. Now that he has a more prominent ownership role he can do more of what he wants.
@@ScottieMacF I know that’s why he’s the “managing partner” and not the owner. I was talking about a couple years ago in the klentak era when we had Harper and Realmuto and others, but they wouldn’t go out and go over the edge. But that seemed to change with dombrowski and especially last year after the lockout ended and we signed schwarber and casty.
The Philadelphia fans eat and sleep their teams. John Middleton has spent "stupid" money on players. But he is spending that money wisely. He is being careful not to bring in any player that will be toxic in the clubhouse (see the Padres). The players he signed all fit into their rolls and have become part of the Phillies family. This family culture is what is drawing the talent. The fan base just adds to that talent draw. The fans want (if not willed) the players to succeed. The players play for their teammates and the fans. It is a beautiful symbiosis. This culture is now effecting the other Philly pro sports teams. The Eagles players are amazed when they hear the E-A-G-L-E-S chant during a Phillies game. It is something special!
I think he meant that Philly is making MLB look good. Even during the 2007-2011 run, social media wasn’t where it’s at now. There also wasn’t streaming services. People also forget, the city ‘greases the poles’ because of the 2008 Championship!! 😂

As someone who grew up in Philly. When a team there is good? The fans will not only show up in droves...but they will give 110% support. This is for any of the major sports. We are hard on the teams and players, but that's just because we want hard workers and success. And any player that has played here will be loved if this happens. Players really do like playing here and always have. The bad stories are what makes national news though, because we threw some snowballs at a drunk belligerent Santa once in another lifetime.
The electricity from CBP can even be felt in your living room. The players' relationships with the fans are top notch and thats also super important. I thought this was a great video, even though there is a heavy bias here lol GO PHILS!!!!
The WHOLE AREA in the Delaware Valley is wearing Philly gear. My daughter's daycare has Red October days. This city is built different. People will never understand unless you gou live here.
@@johnblze667 Completely false. Your little Braves profile pic outs you.

Nothing more special and amazing then when a Philly a sports teams is up in the play offs. from center city to south Jersey bars and towns a buzzing jersey are everywhere people are cheering and talking about the team. Man it’s special time when Philly teams are winning. Let’s go Phillies!!!!!
I had never been to a playoff game, and last year on a whim deciced to go to random game with my dad... Decided based on whatever same day round trip flight was cheapest. I happened to go to the world series clincing game against the Padres. I've never experienced anything like that moment Harper hit the go-ahead homer and will now always root for this Phillies squad (even if I don't deserve to call myself a true fan).
Not a Duke basketball fan but it’s always interesting to watch when a crowd is going crazy. Watching a Phillies playoff game is the same if not better since it’s 45,000 going crazy not just a student section. It makes the other mlb playoff games seem like late June games in terms of crowd noise.
It took me a while to understand how special our fanbases are. It wasn’t until I watched a non Phillies playoff game and was confused as to why the crowd seemed so subdued. It was like they were watching an opera or something lol.
If there’s a big play, you can hear the crowd from across the Delaware River in South Jersey. I grew up in Westville NJ which is 3 miles from the stadium directly across the river and we used to be able to hear fans clearly when the Vet was around, but that’s 67,000 strong and the Vet was basically a megaphone pointing to the sky. To hear it with 47,000 in an “open ballpark” like CBP is impressive.
There is some truth in this. Baseball is interesting with these Phillies. Crazy fans, interesting personalities, talent, and great story lines. That Braves rivalry is something to see. With the new rules and a team like this baseball has found a winning formula.
That Ray's playoff attendance is astounding. That looks like a crowd in late August when your team is 28 games out of first place. If I were the owner I'd say "If we mean that little to you I'm moving the team."
@@adanalyst6925 they need a better park in a more accessible location. The Phillies have good enough freeway access but also have mass transit to the sports complex. I would ask what is the sports break down in Florida? I suspect Rays compete with the Marlins for fans more than the Phillies do with the Steelers.
I'm a Mets fan and I agree with this video I give respect when respect is due and the fan base in Philly is definitely like no other in all of the big 4 American sports. They went in on Harper Which is a bigger fan favorite and elite name than either Mets ownership has ever invested in Since 86'. Good luck this month Phils.
Must Endure Terrible Season What’s that spell? A team that had the highest payroll ever, and somehow couldn’t figure out how to improve on the team’s record from the previous season.
High praise 👏🏻. But not strictly true? Wasn't Bobby Bonilla a big time baller when Mets went in for him. Not sure about the second time around 🤐 But he was elite level on Tony La Russa baseball game on the Sega in '95.
@@stevebabiak6997 😂 you Ahole!!! .... It's true though unfortunately I tell the truth about my team must root for them because it's my territory grew up just outside of shea . And so I suffer.....
Being a Philadelphia native John Middleton and Jeff lurie are the best owners anyone could ask for. They put Joshua Harris to shame hence why there is a lot of hate going on with the sixers compared to the other teams. Jeff and John want a championship and will spend money and Josh just wants money and a new stadium
This is what I love about being a Phillies fan. The fan atmosphere is unlike anything that a lot of teams wish they have. We are crazy and wild, but we love our team and will support them no matter what.
As a 50 year old Philly fan born and raised in delco .this atmosphere has been this way for all four sports.when the flyers are rolling nobody wanted to come to Philly .other teams were actually scared to come here..we have always got a bad rap for how much we love our sports..if the eagles lose a game it stays with the city the entire week..
I'm a 3rd generation Philadelphia sports fan. People don't understand us. We are extremely passionate about our teams. Win or Lose. One of the best fanbases in sports. Watching some old plays and calls just makes me tear up. There's a reason there is a ton of sports bars in that area. I will never forget Harry's Call in 2008 when I was 14. "The 0-2 Pitch. Swing and a miss. STRUCK HIM OUT! The Philadelphia Phillies are two-thousand-eight world champions of baseball. Brad Lidge does it again!"
I was on my knees with my hands in the air faster than Lidge was. I think the ball was about half way to the plate, and you just knew what was going to happen. That and Rhys with the bat slam were the most awesome moments I have seen (yes, I know Harper's HR was great, but Rhys had so much anger and years of frustration explode in that moment).
Man I wish my Dad were still alive. Phils fan his entire life. So glad he got to see them win in 1980. He would go to Connie Mack stadium as a kid and sneak in or watch through holes in the fence. Died in 1998. He would absolutely love this team. Perfect for the blue-collar city that Philly is.
I am a teacher at a local Philly private school and we schedule events around the Phillie's playoff season because we know no one will show up. That's just how it goes.
as a philadelphian and philly sports fan, thank you show much for finally saying that we aren't all bad and one of the best fan bases. yeah there's some bad people and bad memories, but doesn't every fanbase have that group that's bad? anyways i enjoyed your video and i hope you have a great day :)
As a Phillies fan, it's just nice to be recognized. Additionally, it seems like this team really just likes and cares about each other. It seems like they say really heartfelt things about each other in interviews that I don't see other teams doing.
Anyone not from here, you gotta make the trip and go to an Eagles or Phillies playoff game. The atmosphere is absolutely unbelievable. You truly see the magic of sports here in Philly. We just want to have fun and win. The 2022 Phillies playoff run was a magical time in the city, everyone was full of joy and just enjoying the ride.
I've been a Phillies fan since I was old enough to know what baseball is. Born in Philly in '57, I remember like it was yesterday lying on the living room floor with my brothers, watching Jim Bunning pitch a perfect game on Father's Day 1964 at Shea. So many memories through the years. So many players to wear the uniform. And me, wearing my little Phillies uniform, striking out batters and hitting home runs in the driveway out back, while By Saam and Bill Campbell called the play. Sitting right here on my desk is a photo from last year, of my son and my grandson posing in the right field bleachers with the scoreboard in the background, showing the World Series graphic. And the Phils won that game. What a memory for them!
as a kid who was 10 when they made it to the playoffs in 11 and didn't really start following them until 2013 (oof), 10 year playoff draughts are a hell of a drug.
Small correction/improvement: @ThePhillyCaptain is the one who got all the fans to cheer Turner on when he was in his slump. All the props go to him to getting us to lift the guy up.
Phillies have a great down to earth owner with very deep pockets. Have seen him walking around the stadium talking to fans. GM & coach are doing an outstanding job. Hard to believe that my bums hit a total of 9; home runs in two consecutive home games against the great Braves team.
I got goosebumps watching this video. It’s great to see some recognition for our long hated fan bases. People on the outside need to understand that we don’t do it for them, we do it for OUR TEAMS. Our guys can feel the love and the intense energy that pours out for them. Really incredible sometimes. It’s one of the good things about Philadelphia.
It does something to these players when 45,000 ppl are screaming at the top of their lungs. Turner is a great example of that. Bryce says it all the time, he wants to give the fans what they deserve.. A win 🏆
Baseball is terrified of the Phillies and for good reason! Not only do you have to face what I believe is the best team in baseball, but you are facing our fans at the same time! The players feed off of us and use us to dismantle teams, the braves averaged 2 runs a game in the NLDS… 5 of them were game 2! After that we smoked them out of Philly, Arizona might have swept the Dodgers, but they are about to enter a place where the amount of noise is unbearable compared to LA.
Philly sports fans are the best in the world. Last week newly signed Eagles CB Bradley Robey went to the Phil's game and was stunned to hear Eagles chants at a baseball game. Even the MLS Union sold out all their games this year.
Huge Phil's fan. I spent thousands last year to take my brother and myself to the world series only for them to get no hits. So disappointing. I was mad all winter. But they got me back. Hard not to love this team.
Not a baseball guy, but as someone who grew up always hearing about the pirates and Yankees it is awesome seeing philly gettin love outside of the birds
To be clear.. I'm not sure how many people questioned signing Harper here in philly. I'm sure there were a few people, but most of the fan base was ABSOLUTELY on board.
Got my game 2 NLCS tickets!! I’ve been a Phils fan since 2003 when my childhood idol, Jim Thome, signed with the Phils. Lived only an hour from the Phils’ AAA team in Scranton. Got to see Utley, Howard, Madson, Victorino. All those guys. But this 2023 team is something else. Incredible.
I wish there was a love button because like doesn’t do this video justice. Thank you so much for making this video, would love to see a follow up if we can win the whole thing brother! You’ve earned my sub, sharing this video and hope this comment helps the Algorithm! God Speed mate keep up the great content!
I think it also helps that the Eagles are really good. The city has 2 amazing teams to rally behind and it's a massive morale booster. Ask NY how the Giants, Jets Mets and Yanks are hanging lol.
If the Eagles were trash, Phillies would be the only show in town. It’s actually even more amazing that both are great & playing at the same time. It definitely doesn’t help the Phillies that the Eagles are also good, but thankfully, it just heightens everything.

@@jacob45415 What about the Pirates fans? THOSE are the best fans in the world! Any fan base that shows up year in & year out even though your team sucks, they are true fanatics.

We have a lot of young fans who have never experienced losing before, and they are pissing themselves! LOL
@@inconnu4961 honestly pirates fans might be the most loyal fan base out of any team they never are negative and most ppl just feel bad for them most of the times lol
As a lifelong Reds fan I have so much respect for the Phillies, their fans, and owners. Our owners are so fucking cheap. Anyway, I'm rooting for you guys and am so happy that Castillanos is going off with you guys. Anyway, destroy the DB's and then go on to take your WS ring!
I’m gonna stop watching this at 1:28. Philly isn’t loading the stadium because of last year dude that’s just what we do. We’ve been doing it for years for every sports team. It means more in Philly. The truth is that philly always packs the stadium not just only the WS last year
I bicycled across America a few years back. America is a beautiful country with lovely people, which is why I was confused to come across Philadelphia.
John Middleton and His family made their fortune in the Tobacco industry. His family are the creators of the "Black and Mild" "cigar"brand. And sold it to a big company for billions. He is also local from the Philly area. Hea down to earth and once a year throws a party during the game for his season ticket holders in his massive club box at CBP. Dude is a legend

Nothing more special and amazing then when a Philly a sports teams is up in the play offs. from center city to south Jersey bars and towns a buzzing jersey are everywhere people are cheering and talking about the team. Man it’s special time when Philly teams are winning. Let’s go Phillies!!!!!
I had never been to a playoff game, and last year on a whim deciced to go to random game with my dad... Decided based on whatever same day round trip flight was cheapest. I happened to go to the world series clincing game against the Padres. I've never experienced anything like that moment Harper hit the go-ahead homer and will now always root for this Phillies squad (even if I don't deserve to call myself a true fan).
Not a Duke basketball fan but it’s always interesting to watch when a crowd is going crazy. Watching a Phillies playoff game is the same if not better since it’s 45,000 going crazy not just a student section. It makes the other mlb playoff games seem like late June games in terms of crowd noise.
It took me a while to understand how special our fanbases are. It wasn’t until I watched a non Phillies playoff game and was confused as to why the crowd seemed so subdued. It was like they were watching an opera or something lol.
Phillies fans really are underated. Arguably one of the best baseball fanbases despite many losing seasons.
I'm not even a Phillies fan but I will admit they are the best fanbase in baseball right now
If there’s a big play, you can hear the crowd from across the Delaware River in South Jersey. I grew up in Westville NJ which is 3 miles from the stadium directly across the river and we used to be able to hear fans clearly when the Vet was around, but that’s 67,000 strong and the Vet was basically a megaphone pointing to the sky. To hear it with 47,000 in an “open ballpark” like CBP is impressive.
Went to NLDS game 3 in Philly this past Wednesday and it was INCREDIBLE. So much fun and such a great experience, the whole crowd was electric.
Amazing feeling that sticks with you for life
There is some truth in this. Baseball is interesting with these Phillies. Crazy fans, interesting personalities, talent, and great story lines. That Braves rivalry is something to see. With the new rules and a team like this baseball has found a winning formula.
Great video man. Thank you for shinning a light on one of the greatest fanbases in sports
That Ray's playoff attendance is astounding. That looks like a crowd in late August when your team is 28 games out of first place. If I were the owner I'd say "If we mean that little to you I'm moving the team."
Yeah I was rooting for them to keep their team but after that I feel like St Pete isn’t it. They need to go to Tampa or leave Florida
@@adanalyst6925 they need a better park in a more accessible location. The Phillies have good enough freeway access but also have mass transit to the sports complex. I would ask what is the sports break down in Florida? I suspect Rays compete with the Marlins for fans more than the Phillies do with the Steelers.
I'm a Mets fan and I agree with this video I give respect when respect is due and the fan base in Philly is definitely like no other in all of the big 4 American sports. They went in on Harper Which is a bigger fan favorite and elite name than either Mets ownership has ever invested in Since 86'. Good luck this month Phils.
Must
Endure
Terrible
Season
What’s that spell? A team that had the highest payroll ever, and somehow couldn’t figure out how to improve on the team’s record from the previous season.
@@stevebabiak6997Typical classless Philly fan! The guy pays you a complement, throws you support, and you crap on him man? LOW CLASS
High praise 👏🏻. But not strictly true? Wasn't Bobby Bonilla a big time baller when Mets went in for him. Not sure about the second time around 🤐 But he was elite level on Tony La Russa baseball game on the Sega in '95.
@@stevebabiak6997 😂 you Ahole!!! .... It's true though unfortunately I tell the truth about my team must root for them because it's my territory grew up just outside of shea . And so I suffer.....
@@brendandickinson1101 Oh god Bobby Bo 😔
Being a Philadelphia native John Middleton and Jeff lurie are the best owners anyone could ask for. They put Joshua Harris to shame hence why there is a lot of hate going on with the sixers compared to the other teams. Jeff and John want a championship and will spend money and Josh just wants money and a new stadium
New Siders arena is dumb!
The best fans in baseball...Harper and Turner ...castellano..swarber... worth every penny on contracts...GM dombroski ...😮
This is what I love about being a Phillies fan. The fan atmosphere is unlike anything that a lot of teams wish they have. We are crazy and wild, but we love our team and will support them no matter what.
As a 50 year old Philly fan born and raised in delco .this atmosphere has been this way for all four sports.when the flyers are rolling nobody wanted to come to Philly .other teams were actually scared to come here..we have always got a bad rap for how much we love our sports..if the eagles lose a game it stays with the city the entire week..
shoutout my fellow born and raised delco neighbors 🫡
“Unlike Agholor”
I'm a 3rd generation Philadelphia sports fan. People don't understand us. We are extremely passionate about our teams. Win or Lose. One of the best fanbases in sports. Watching some old plays and calls just makes me tear up. There's a reason there is a ton of sports bars in that area. I will never forget Harry's Call in 2008 when I was 14. "The 0-2 Pitch. Swing and a miss. STRUCK HIM OUT! The Philadelphia Phillies are two-thousand-eight world champions of baseball. Brad Lidge does it again!"
I was on my knees with my hands in the air faster than Lidge was. I think the ball was about half way to the plate, and you just knew what was going to happen. That and Rhys with the bat slam were the most awesome moments I have seen (yes, I know Harper's HR was great, but Rhys had so much anger and years of frustration explode in that moment).
@@billnolte8644 Yes that bat slam was iconic. It was like a weight lifted off of him. I also liked Kyle Schwarber's absolute bomb in the NLCS.
Same here. I was 8, but that call, and my dad's reaction - I'll never ever forget.
Shout-out to the Philly Captain, the Phandemic Crew and, most importantly, Luke!
Man I wish my Dad were still alive. Phils fan his entire life. So glad he got to see them win in 1980. He would go to Connie Mack stadium as a kid and sneak in or watch through holes in the fence. Died in 1998. He would absolutely love this team. Perfect for the blue-collar city that Philly is.
Thankyou for this gem. Thankyou for also giving the Phils and the fans their much deserved credit.
”We all know that if the Phillies played during the day no one would come to work.” Man speaks facts only
I am a teacher at a local Philly private school and we schedule events around the Phillie's playoff season because we know no one will show up. That's just how it goes.
as a philadelphian and philly sports fan, thank you show much for finally saying that we aren't all bad and one of the best fan bases. yeah there's some bad people and bad memories, but doesn't every fanbase have that group that's bad? anyways i enjoyed your video and i hope you have a great day :)
As a Phillies fan, it's just nice to be recognized. Additionally, it seems like this team really just likes and cares about each other. It seems like they say really heartfelt things about each other in interviews that I don't see other teams doing.
Anyone not from here, you gotta make the trip and go to an Eagles or Phillies playoff game. The atmosphere is absolutely unbelievable. You truly see the magic of sports here in Philly. We just want to have fun and win. The 2022 Phillies playoff run was a magical time in the city, everyone was full of joy and just enjoying the ride.
I've been a Phillies fan since I was old enough to know what baseball is. Born in Philly in '57, I remember like it was yesterday lying on the living room floor with my brothers, watching Jim Bunning pitch a perfect game on Father's Day 1964 at Shea. So many memories through the years. So many players to wear the uniform. And me, wearing my little Phillies uniform, striking out batters and hitting home runs in the driveway out back, while By Saam and Bill Campbell called the play. Sitting right here on my desk is a photo from last year, of my son and my grandson posing in the right field bleachers with the scoreboard in the background, showing the World Series graphic. And the Phils won that game. What a memory for them!
Philly fans are getting the rep they deserve. They're the best sports fans in the world.
I'm so PROUD to be from Philly... Finally ❤
Glad to see us getting the respect we deserve as a fanbase! Thanks
FINALLY
Finally. Someone is giving us our flowers.
love to see my fellow Desis making content ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE PHILS LFG
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIGHTINS
Big ups 2 Philly !! Coming from a Yankee fan!!
as a kid who was 10 when they made it to the playoffs in 11 and didn't really start following them until 2013 (oof), 10 year playoff draughts are a hell of a drug.
Small correction/improvement: @ThePhillyCaptain is the one who got all the fans to cheer Turner on when he was in his slump. All the props go to him to getting us to lift the guy up.
It wasn't actually a reporter mentioned it 3 days before the captain said it
My guy Jack Fritz!!@@brandan7095
We are fuckin nuts here for our teams.
Phillies have a great down to earth owner with very deep pockets. Have seen him walking around the stadium talking to fans. GM & coach are doing an outstanding job. Hard to believe that my bums hit a total of 9; home runs in two consecutive home games against the great Braves team.
Proud to be a Phillies fan
I kinda envy the passion that Phillies fans show their team
You should not be proud💀
I got goosebumps watching this video. It’s great to see some recognition for our long hated fan bases. People on the outside need to understand that we don’t do it for them, we do it for OUR TEAMS. Our guys can feel the love and the intense energy that pours out for them. Really incredible sometimes. It’s one of the good things about Philadelphia.
Watching the phillies play is so fun. so good for baseball.
Mets fan here and as much as i hate to say it Phillies fans go off every post season. They crazy.
Middleton is basically the best kind of owner any fanbase would want. Doesnt care about the cost just wants to win
CBP is an awesome spot to watch a game
Can't even put into words the buzz in this city right now for this squad, we are on fire. 8 more...
As a season ticket holder for the Phillies, Sixers and Eagles.. your video is on point!
Phillies and Eagles fans will always be hard edge and I am damn proud of that.
And you will get dunked on for that. Proud of that!
It does something to these players when 45,000 ppl are screaming at the top of their lungs. Turner is a great example of that. Bryce says it all the time, he wants to give the fans what they deserve.. A win 🏆
philly has the best fans. even if the team is bad like the flyers right now, there will still be fans there
Great production and awesome video my guy!
great video dude I would've thought this had way more views if I watched blindly
Baseball is terrified of the Phillies and for good reason! Not only do you have to face what I believe is the best team in baseball, but you are facing our fans at the same time! The players feed off of us and use us to dismantle teams, the braves averaged 2 runs a game in the NLDS… 5 of them were game 2! After that we smoked them out of Philly, Arizona might have swept the Dodgers, but they are about to enter a place where the amount of noise is unbearable compared to LA.
Drum line Elmo the Philly legend
Philly sports fans are the best in the world. Last week newly signed Eagles CB Bradley Robey went to the Phil's game and was stunned to hear Eagles chants at a baseball game. Even the MLS Union sold out all their games this year.
Huge Phil's fan. I spent thousands last year to take my brother and myself to the world series only for them to get no hits. So disappointing. I was mad all winter. But they got me back. Hard not to love this team.
As a Phillies fan from the area I want you to know, I appreciate this video brotha. Thank you for this video. Said!!!
I live in south jersey but am a die hard Philly sports fan we have the best fans
Not a baseball guy, but as someone who grew up always hearing about the pirates and Yankees it is awesome seeing philly gettin love outside of the birds
To be clear.. I'm not sure how many people questioned signing Harper here in philly. I'm sure there were a few people, but most of the fan base was ABSOLUTELY on board.
Got my game 2 NLCS tickets!! I’ve been a Phils fan since 2003 when my childhood idol, Jim Thome, signed with the Phils. Lived only an hour from the Phils’ AAA team in Scranton. Got to see Utley, Howard, Madson, Victorino. All those guys. But this 2023 team is something else. Incredible.
All I have to say 06-11 the crowd was just as electric as it is now
I wish there was a love button because like doesn’t do this video justice. Thank you so much for making this video, would love to see a follow up if we can win the whole thing brother! You’ve earned my sub, sharing this video and hope this comment helps the Algorithm! God Speed mate keep up the great content!
It's still wild to me that there are team owners who make it their goal not to spend money. Like bro if you aren't in it to win why be in it at all?
I think it also helps that the Eagles are really good. The city has 2 amazing teams to rally behind and it's a massive morale booster. Ask NY how the Giants, Jets Mets and Yanks are hanging lol.
If the Eagles were trash, Phillies would be the only show in town. It’s actually even more amazing that both are great & playing at the same time. It definitely doesn’t help the Phillies that the Eagles are also good, but thankfully, it just heightens everything.
And 76ers
@@jacob45415 Sixers get our hopes up way too high, only fail! The owners only care about the Washington Football Team & Building a new arena in Chinatown
@@lovesgucci1 Regardless of what the media may say - Philadelphia is a football town and the Phillies are second in that race - and I'm a Raiders fan who lives in Philly
We are psychotic nuts jobs who let our sports teams dictate our emotional state…and I wear that badge with astute honor! 😂😂😂
If your a Phillies fan in philadelphia, it was cheaper to fly to atlanta and back, go to the game, get a hotel for a night then to go to a game in Philly
I don't care what anyone says or thinks, Philly sports fans are the greatest fans on earth, GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!
How abt Pennsylvania in general Steelers penguins etc Penn state ?
@@jacob45415 What about the Pirates fans? THOSE are the best fans in the world! Any fan base that shows up year in & year out even though your team sucks, they are true fanatics. Its EASY to be a fan when your team is playing well and successful. We Patriots fans are going through this now! We have a lot of young fans who have never experienced losing before, and they are pissing themselves! LOL
@@inconnu4961 honestly pirates fans might be the most loyal fan base out of any team they never are negative and most ppl just feel bad for them most of the times lol
I'm going to game 2 of the NLCS!!! I have no plans on being on able to talk the next day. LOVE MY PHILLIES!!! LETS GOOOOOO. RING THE BELL!!!!
As a lifelong Reds fan I have so much respect for the Phillies, their fans, and owners. Our owners are so fucking cheap. Anyway, I'm rooting for you guys and am so happy that Castillanos is going off with you guys. Anyway, destroy the DB's and then go on to take your WS ring!
Reds fans still show out tho! been to GAB twice in the last couple years as a Phillies fan and the reds fans represent pretty well.
Going to a Phillies playoff game is a crazy experience
This has been going on since 2007. Obviously they didn’t make the playoffs from 2012-2021 but the hype has been there like this every playoff game
👏 thank you for this - Phillies Fan
Hey Samarth, this is Rohan speaking. I was born in Philly. Let's hope the Phillies can get back to the World Series!!!
I’m gonna stop watching this at 1:28. Philly isn’t loading the stadium because of last year dude that’s just what we do. We’ve been doing it for years for every sports team. It means more in Philly. The truth is that philly always packs the stadium not just only the WS last year
*WE DONT GET HYPE, WE STAY HYPE*
I have the utmost respect for John Middleton. If you don't care about winning, you shouldn't own a team. Middleton wants to win.
The phillies stadium also has one if the lowest seating numbers in the league but you couldn't r tell by all the noise lol ❤
Also, this fan base embraces a villain role. If you call them awful, it’s a badge of honor for them.
I bicycled across America a few years back. America is a beautiful country with lovely people, which is why I was confused to come across Philadelphia.
John Middleton and His family made their fortune in the Tobacco industry. His family are the creators of the "Black and Mild" "cigar"brand. And sold it to a big company for billions. He is also local from the Philly area. Hea down to earth and once a year throws a party during the game for his season ticket holders in his massive club box at CBP. Dude is a legend
