Daily News | Phillies’ shortstop Trea Turner on fans’ minds as flocks return to Citizens Bank Park for home opener
Steve Wilson from Bucks County poses with a Philly Phanatic backdrop, during Phillies' home opener at Citizens Bank Park.The fresh crack of a whiffle ball bat. A sea of red and white jerseys glommed together. In the skies, a prop-plane proudly brandishing a billowing Wawa ad.
Troy Friend and his school-aged son, Chase, were “ready to go” as they waited in anticipation. The Douglassville natives were steps away from the rush of home opener baseball, and little Chase could hardly contain his excitement.That was in part because he was about to see the Fightins continue to correct their course after a particularly emotional World Series finish in Houston last year.
How could else could you tell he was a diehard? In the style of hip-hop hype man Flava Flav, a larger-than-life gold chain hung around his neck. Dangling at the bottom, a massive red letter “P.” “Even if we were 0 and 6, it’s early,” Wilson said. “It’s a 162-game season, you’re gonna have ebbs and flows, you’re gonna have bad starts, good starts. At the end of the year, we should be there.”
