Scenes From An NLDS Game 1: Monty G Is In Playoff Form

Posted by meech.one at 10:41 am ET 18 Comments

When our Fightin’ Phils were in the playoffs last year, a new superstar fan emerged from the pack to make everyone feel at ease about our chances of winning the World Series.

That man was Monty G.

The morning after that dreaded Game 5a of the World Series, when an entire city felt a bit uneasy about the way things were unfolding, a female reporter from 6abc just happened to be roaming the streets looking for someone — ANYONE — who could bring some positivity to Philly. Preferably with a little freestyle rap and some bird noises. Then, voila. Monty G came to the rescue.

Well yesterday afternoon, Monty G returned. And this time, he came equipped with a Phillies-themed afro and a brand new airbrushed t-shirt. The Phillie Phanatic, obviously aware of Monty and his exploits, pulled him up on the dugout steps and electrified a sold-out Bank with their breathtaking dance moves and large bellies.

I was afraid that this moment would pass without anyone documenting it, but thankfully @Harpo42 and her trusty Canon EOS captured it beautifully.

And now, without further adieu, ladies and gents put your hand together for — MONTY GEE!

When I saw the Bacon Brothers were playing in Camden this past summer, all I wanted to do was go and heckle them about how, “Isn’t it ashame we’re not at Penn’s Landing-you know, because that place was almost awesome, but someone messed up designing that whole area.” I wonder what they would have said.

Had a front row seat to the dancing with the stars moment yesterday. For a big guy he can sure dance and Monty isn’t bad either.

I was there and it was quite the sight. I believe the Phanatic, who usually handily out-dances his companions, might have finally met his match.
