I have partial season tickets right next to the opposing bullpen. Usually I like to give it a little to the bullpen coach and some of the pitchers that are out there.
I couldn't do that last night. Before the game even started, the BP coach for the Phillies was giving balls away to all the kids he saw. I gave him a big
.
Also, about the 4th inning he opened up a massive cooler full of all sorts of snacks. I looked down and said, "SWEET!!" He asked me if I wanted one, and I tried to shake him off, but he tossed me up a Snackwells. He looked at my brother and tossed him up Mini-Oreos.
Pretty much everbody in the section had a good time because of the Phillies bullpen. They were chatting it up with the fans, Phillie or DBack.
His name was Henderson, and besides making sure the fans have a good time, I think his BP is actually very good. In this series so far, they haven't given up everything. And he has that bullpen incredibly loose, ready for a Pennant run. If I didn't know any better, I'd think the Phillies are becoming my 2nd favorite team.
Mr. Henderson.
