Phandemic Krew

I love this. There are a bunch of Phillies fans that gather at a fence in right field and cheer for the team. They are dubbed the Phandemic Krew!

The Inquirer reported the Phandemic Krew hired a drumline to play during part of Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader, and Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman said the fans made their presence felt Thursday. The group’s name is a nod to the coronavirus pandemic that has kept fans from attending games in stadiums this season, and to Krew Harper, the son of outfielder Bryce Harper, according to the Inquirer.

Thursday night they got under the skin of the Yankees, blowing a air horn whenever Jordan Montgomery was about to pitch. Aaron Boone complained to no avail:

“The environment we’re in, it’s almost like a golf environment where that sudden thing can … So I thought there was a timing element to it,” Boone told reporters, according to the Inquirer.

I hope when teams start allowing fans that the Phillies give the Krew a few free tickets. They may have made the difference in the 5-4 Philadelphia win last night.
