Philadelphia Phillies Fans Frenzied Over World Series Trip

PHILADELPHIA, PA —It might actually be a Manic Monday.

Manic as in frenzied. Manic as in feverish. Manic as in fans of the Philadelphia Phillies waking up knowing that their team is going to the World Series.

Across the city and Philadelphia suburbs, fans were rejoicing over Sunday's victory over the San Diego Padres that propelled the team to the 8th National League pennant in the team's 139-year history.

"It's awesome. There's a lot of good energy that's brought to the area," Yardley Borough Manager Paula Johnson said Monday. "I think it's great. People in Yardley are excited seeing a local team do well."

After the Phillies' victory, the Yardley Borough Police Department posted a recent picture of a furry friend officials and residents got to hang with at last month's Harvest Day Festival —the Phillie Phanatic. Mayor Chris Harding posted it on his Facebook page as well the comment "PHILLIES."
