There would be no Phillies baseball without the fans themselves.

Remember the string of consecutive sellouts at Citizens Bank Park? The atmosphere inside the stadium was can’t-miss, especially during the postseason. While there have been more “seas of blue” in recent years, that does not mean the fans no longer care by any stretch.

Phillies fans have a greater impact than we might think. A common denominator for most players coming back is them saying the support they received from Phillies fans during their playing career meant so much to them.

The fans are there to give the players an extra push to be the best versions of themselves. They expect greatness and effort, and nothing less, or the players will surely hear it.

Without a doubt, there are many reasons to be thankful for the Phillies faithful.
