From the “Best Catcher in Baseball” in J.T. Realmuto, to the best mascot in sports, the Phillie Phanatic.

The Phanatic brings so much to the atmosphere of the ballpark; while his route is largely the same, it still finds a way to bring smiles to fans of all ages.

In a sense, the Phanatic is the perfect symbol or representative of the Philadelphia fan. He is always there to cheer on his team, through good times and bad.

He has been there for generations of Phillies fans already, and hopefully for many more to come.
