Phillies: Ryan Howard on hand for Eagles game

Phillies legend Ryan Howard is back in Philly for a big playoff game

A decade after the Phillies brought a World Series championship to Philadelphia the Big Piece returns with the Eagles looking to clinch the NFC.

Ryan Howard, who has frequented Eagles games in recent weeks, was spotted in the parking lot across the street from Citizens Bank Park.

Courtesy of NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark, The Big Piece had a message for the Eagles going into their showdown with the Vikings.

It’s absolutely the Eagles turn after a decade without a championship in Philadelphia. The Flyers and Phillies had their opportunities before both entered rebuilds, and we all know where the 76ers have been thanks to The Process.

Eagles football has absolutely taken over the city just as Phillie baseball did from 2007 to 2012.  The entire team has come together to wish the underdog number one seed good luck tonight on social media.

I REALLY need a Gabe Kapler pregame speech. You know he could knock some guys around out there if he had the opportunity.

Players also reached out on their own Twitter pages to preach their support to the Eagles tonight.

Not necessarily “Ruppies Puppies” but we get the idea. The Eagles are underdogs at home and they need every ounce of energy to push them over the edge into Minnesota.
