@epeemike81.bsky.social One of my most prized possessions from the 2008 Campaign/2008 World Series crossover moment. Plus Boston and Philly share a love of the Flyin' Hawaiian.

The Phillies are playing fantastic baseball and I have never been more terrified about what they have planned for me.

Thank you!
