Phillies fans say they got a warm feeling this cold winter afternoon, celebrating the accomplishments of the boys of summer. Folks in Berks County got to have their own moment with the World Series trophy Thursday. WFMZ’s Melissa Batulis reports from the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wyomissing, where the celebration continued tonight. There’s enough Phillies Phever around here to melt all the snow in Berks today. The World Series trophy made stops in our neck of the woods as part of the Phillies Winter Tour. And it was more than enough to give fans their winter fix of baseball. >> DEIHM: This is my lunch break so I get a half an hour and this is it. >> REPORTER: Donald Deihm heard about the trophy stop at the V-F Outlets and decided to spend his only break from work feasting his eyes on this. >> DEIHM: Last time it happened I was pretty young and I didn’t get to see a trophy then so this is pretty neat. >> REPORTER: Jackson Pawling will be able to say the same thing someday. His parents brought him out to see the World Series Trophy. >> PAWLING: He’s been to a few games, he’s met the Phanatic already. We’re raising him the right way. >> REPORTER: Luckily for Jackson…he’ll probably only remember this through the family photos. >> (Screaming) >> REPORTER: Speaking of photos…there were plenty being snapped. People posed with one of the well-known voices of the Phillies, Chris Wheeler. And those who walked away with snap shots say those will become trophies in their own right. >> GOODMAN: Hope to enlarge it. >> BARE: Frame it up and make it look nice. >> MOLL: My husband said if they take my picture with it, he’ll put it in his album. óMelissa Batulisó >> And the Phillie Phanatic was a huge help lining up my interviews today. Phanatic, do you think we’ll see this trophy back here next year?
