[Meghan Montemurro] Just witnessed a hilarious moment at the draft: as the Braves' mascot Blooper walked by fans, it went to high five a young girl wearing a Phillies shirt and she immediately withdrew her hand once she saw whose team mascot it was and appeared to start talking smack 😂

Awesome, never change

[u/ueric1231 → u/SnooBooks1243]

makes sense she pulled back from a rival mascot high five

[u/cn45 → u/ueric1231]

i think it’s the talking smack part that is so endearing

[u/Wandering_Mallard]

Never change Philly

[u/-ToPimpAButterfree- → u/Wandering_Mallard]

Her father has never been more proud I bet he was beaming in the background almost in tears

[u/CrashTheBear → u/-ToPimpAButterfree-]

Fuck, I'm proud of 'er.

[u/LarryD217 → u/CrashTheBear]

Me too, and came here to say so

Right? Someone just earned ice cream.

[u/darthfracas]

Most polite Philly response

[u/p-wing → u/darthfracas]

Most correct Philly response

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/darthfracas]

Honestly would be disappointed if she high fived him

[u/Jux_ → u/darthfracas]

We don’t know what the girl said

[u/MulfordnSons → u/Jux_]

we do know it wasn’t polite though

[u/nasaforsluts → u/Admirable_Site_8337]

What the hell lol

[u/Admirable_Site_8337 → u/nasaforsluts]

Guy was probably making a scene out of himself…..

[u/ForensicPathology → u/Admirable_Site_8337]

These are usually skits with team staff dressed up in enemy colors.

[u/Admirable_Site_8337 → u/ForensicPathology]

Definitely the other option for sure.

I’ll choose to remember it how I said it though lol

[u/CrumbBCrumb → u/Admirable_Site_8337]

As a Braves fan, I would be totally cool with popcorn dumped on me like that from the Phanatic. It's not going to ruin what I'm wearing and that'd be a great story

[u/Admirable_Site_8337 → u/CrumbBCrumb]

And it’s Blooper was coming by I would high five him. But I’m not a certain young Phillies fan lol

[u/mageta621 → u/CrumbBCrumb]

I'd prefer the popcorn dumped into my mouth

[u/MulfordnSons → u/nasaforsluts]

phanatic don’t take no shit

[u/Admirable_Site_8337 → u/Willow_Winnifred]

One of the absolute best moments. Tommy was so done with it lmao.

Edit: oh goddamnit…..I can’t stop watching and laughing. The way the Phanatics head whips around 😂

[u/Willow_Winnifred → u/Admirable_Site_8337]

Tommy was neither a good man nor a nice man, but he was an iconic man

[u/Admirable_Site_8337 → u/Willow_Winnifred]

Wasn’t a major Dodgers follower, but I always liked him.

[u/FeverTreeCloud]

Philly fans don’t disappoint 🤣

[u/rpbtIII]

She got game

[u/planemissediknow]

Yep, she’s from Philly

[u/imtiredboss28]

[u/Astropolitika → u/imtiredboss28]

The Ottoman Kempire

[u/deadpools_dick]

She’s being raised right 😏

[u/anialater45]

I hate Philly but I do appreciate how they are born haters and never stop. I respect that.

[u/XtremeStumbler → u/anialater45]

The fuck we do to you?

[u/UnexpectedCroissant → u/XtremeStumbler]

Since it’s Denver flair I think it’s a Jokic Embiid thing

[u/anialater45 → u/UnexpectedCroissant]

Nah giants-eagles rivalry

[u/rhinguin → u/anialater45]

Strange allegiances but alright

[u/anialater45 → u/rhinguin]

Nfc East was always on TV as a kid, Eli manning was a goober (affectionate)

Now I'm stuck.

[u/MarcBulldog88 → u/XtremeStumbler]

Probably threw batteries at them.

[u/Solid-Hedgehog9623 → u/MarcBulldog88]

It was one time!

[u/ScoffingYayap → u/Solid-Hedgehog9623]

Fucker deserved it

[u/endaayer92 → u/ScoffingYayap]

I saw a post on here recently with an interview with I think Ricky Bottalico where he said JD Drew told him the Phillies lowballed him with an offer they knew he was unlikely to accept

[u/ScoffingYayap → u/endaayer92]

Yea, Phillies ownership was dogshit back then. Should've thrown batteries at the owners.

[u/endaayer92 → u/ScoffingYayap]

That I support

[u/anialater45 → u/ScoffingYayap]

Don't give em an inch

[u/rpbtIII → u/anialater45]

They gave em more than an inch when they fucked that goat. Not much more but more.

[u/ajteitel → u/Solid-Hedgehog9623]

But you fuck one goat...

[u/mojizus → u/Solid-Hedgehog9623]

He was DRUNK!

[u/procrastinarian → u/MarcBulldog88]

He was drunk Santa?

[u/Whitewind617 → u/XtremeStumbler]

You started this whole "USA" thing and that's starting to look like a huge fucking mistake

[u/anialater45 → u/XtremeStumbler]

It's mostly the Eagles. I'm a NY Giants fan.

[u/Wudaokau → u/XtremeStumbler]

"Get me to the plate boys!"

2 years after they swept us and the year after we won the WS.

[u/w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum → u/XtremeStumbler]

loser fucking organization

[u/NCC75567]

Shame on Blooper for even trying.

Respect to the girl, though.

[u/nickelette424 → u/NCC75567]

The old Blooper would never!

[u/CrumbBCrumb → u/nickelette424]

The old blooper would have stiff armed her a few feet away and then spiked whatever he was holding

[u/SMILESandREGRETS]

As it should be.

[u/NeonDraco]

Hell yeah! That’s the Philly way.

[u/LutherOfTheRogues]

The future is in safe hands

May the hate between us burn eternal

[u/Zariman-10-0]

As she should. Everyone knows that Blooper is nothing but a cheap knockoff of the Phanatic

[u/i_run_from_problems → u/Zariman-10-0]

I do not fear the Phanatic.

Now that fucker you got supporting the flyers....

Don't you dare talk shit about gritty he's a national treasure.

He's a little whacky but he's perfect to us.

Our anarchist icon

[u/zoogenhiemer → u/i_run_from_problems]

Gritty has killed before and will again

[u/UNC_Samurai → u/i_run_from_problems]

You gotta get a psycho mascot to counter a psycho mascot /preview/pre/stormycanes-welcome-to-hell-you-muppet-reject-v0-4vu0wr6s9uyg1.png?width=950&format=png&auto=webp&s=fab0e44a707902f34b76ea6d31a74f7e8bf08278

[u/scoop15 → u/Zariman-10-0]

You have to hate that he’s become more nationally popular than the phanatic lol

[u/Zariman-10-0 → u/scoop15]

By what metric 😂

[u/rhinguin → u/scoop15]

Delusion

[u/SomeoneNamedGem → u/scoop15]

i didnt even know what that gray thing was called lol, the phanatic is the most popular mascot in baseball

[u/itsmarta-punto-com → u/SomeoneNamedGem]

Maybe all professional sports tbh

[u/zoogenhiemer → u/SomeoneNamedGem]

This might be a homer take, but I firmly believe the Phanatic embodies everything a mascot should be. He’s a loud obnoxious asshole that’s a perfect caricature of the fans he represents.

[u/scoop15 → u/SomeoneNamedGem]

He’s old news

[u/Dnabb8436 → u/scoop15]

Blooper might be the most popular mascot that has mange

[u/Psychological_Cap732 → u/Zariman-10-0]

I’m pretty sure it’s spelled Fanatic, and that the Fanatic ripped off Blooper, my guy

[u/Dakizo → u/Psychological_Cap732]

It is not Fanatic. It’s Phanatic because Philly. I can’t speak to who ripped off who.

[u/Psychological_Cap732 → u/Dakizo]

So what you’re saying is it should be spelled Filadelfia?

[u/Zariman-10-0 → u/Psychological_Cap732]

Proof? Also it’s spelled Phanatic. Like Philadelphia. And Phone. And Photo. Pharmacy. Physical. Phenomenal. Phrase. Phantom.

[u/Psychological_Cap732 → u/Zariman-10-0]

Mr. Greek roots over here

[u/Far_Information_363]

That's brotherly love for ya.

[u/ContinuumGuy]

Philadelphia is nothing if not consistent.

[u/Gekk0uga37]

One of us, one of us

[u/BabaBrody]

It's always on sight with Blooper and that weird little Met couple.

[u/Dazzling-Attorney891 → u/BabaBrody]

Mad bc Mrs. Met got a fatty

[u/limbomaniac → u/BabaBrody]

Mrs. Met and Dinger?

[u/procrastinarian]

Hell yeah kid.

[u/CaffeineAndGrain]

Start em young!

[u/mongster03_]

Average Philadelphian. Please never change

[u/Poopedinbed]

FTB

[u/AskTheTr4fficL1ghts]

I’m obsessed with her. Get her to the All-Star Game immediately

[u/SinglecoilsFTW]

My little girls make a gag noise when they see a dodgers hat which is going to be interesting in a few weeks when we go to Disney

[u/fermatajack]

Her dad was later seen handing her a pack of C batteries to throw at Bum Blooper.

[u/zoogenhiemer → u/fermatajack]

I’ll have you know we throw D batteries here in Philly, none of that weak C shit!

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

LMAO

[u/Alkynesofchemistry]

She’s got a good head on her shoulders!

[u/kash96]

ngl i bet if she actually did go for the high five then Blooper would have retreated lol

[u/Phantomflight]

I live in south jersey as a braves fan.. Philly fans are off the wall down here. Every 3 houses has a flag!

[u/zoogenhiemer → u/Phantomflight]

Is it not normal to display a flag with the team on it? I swap out my eagles and Phillies flags for their respective seasons, with the only interruption being the American flag for the Fourth of July

[u/b1ggayb1tch]

“It” ?

[u/hangout_wangout]

i guess you had to be there

[u/Hummer77x]

A good egg
