Phillies Fans Share Game Day Superstitions & Rituals

As the Phillies handle business on the field, rest assured the fanbase is also actively contributing to seal tonight’s victory.

Tonight’s game is nothing short of a pivotal moment for the Philadelphia Phillies, as it has the potential to propel them to the grandest stage in baseball – the World Series.

As the Phillies prepare to take the field, they have trained and played hard for this moment, combining rigorous training, strategic analysis, and mental focus to ensure they’re ready for every game.


While the Phillies are taking care of business on the field, you can be confident that the fanbase is actively contributing to help seal the victory tonight, not only by filling the stadium but also by following lucky rituals — leaving nothing to chance.

In a Reddit post titled: “I Am the Reason the Phillies Lost on Friday,” user Andrew-IV wrote:

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for my actions on Friday night that cost the Phillies the game. Usually whenever I watch the game I sit on my desk chair and have a beer. Well, Friday night I watched the game on my bed while drinking nothing but water. I made the proper correction last night for W, and I would like to announce that I will be drinking heavily while on my desk chair for the rest of the postseason. I hope you can all forgive me for this blunder. Go Phils

I feel the weight of Andrew-IV’s burden, and likewise take full responsibility for my actions as well, by neglecting to plug in my outdoor Halloween inflatable. I corrected my actions on Saturday night and rest assured, will continue to make sure it is plugged in going forward.
