The 76ers will celebrate the World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies during “Phillies Night,” the highlight of which will be the fans’ opportunity to get their picture taken with the Commissioner’s Trophy prior to the Sixers game vs. the Knicks on Saturday, January 24, 2009. The trophy will be on display in the Wachovia Center at the 11th Street Atrium starting at 6:00pm until just before halftime. The game will tip-off at 7:00pm.
Fans will be able to view and photograph the trophy from the concourse as well as from the suite, club and mezzanine levels of the Wachovia Center, allowing for a 360 degree view of the prized hardware.
You hear that? A THREE-HUNDRED AND SIXTY DEGREE VIEW! That’s like every possible angle.
If that isn’t worth the price of admission, surely this is:
In attendance for “Phillies Night” will be World Series MVP Cole Hamels – who will participate in the ceremonial opening tip – pitchers Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge, and outfielder Shane Victorino, all of whom will participate in a three-point shooting contest at halftime. The World Series trophy will also be brought to the court during the halftime ceremony, as well.
I’ve heard enough — count me in. I’ll be up in Section 104 with the meech.fam in my #41 Manuel road jersey shouting “Come and touch it, Dave” at the top of my lungs to an injured Eddy Curry. Or “Keep Eddy away from the towels!”
As for the three-point contest between the Phils? If I were a handicapper, I’d put Shane Victorino as a 5/2 favorite followed by Cole Hamels & Ryan Madson at 3/1 with Brad Lidge as the 8/1 longshot. I heard Shane got range, son.
I hope to see you there.

Do you think it’s a coincidence this is happening against New York? Or is this just another subtle jab to up the ante for the coming season?
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
I’d put Cole as the long shot. That boy is just goofy. Speaking of your super pimp Phillies jersey… I could use one of those.
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Sounds like fun. I’d love to see the shooting contest. I’ll put my money on Shane.
Also tomorrow, while I’ll be taking the SATs, the Phillies will have their “Meet the Phillies” session which you can watch live on CSNphilly.com.

I’m going to be there as well. It will be my 1st Sixers game. Sitting in section 109, row 5.
I just wanna see the trophy.
January 23rd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
@MikeY: Well, I don’t know if you heard, but I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to see the trophy from every angle possible. No joke.
January 23rd, 2009 at 5:42 pm
@ Meech:
No f-ckin way! Are you cereal!?!?
OMGWTFLOL.
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I’ll be there! I’ll put my money on Brad Lidge followed by Shane Victorino.
January 23rd, 2009 at 11:24 pm
and no Jimmy? was he busy?
January 24th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Sounds like a good time Phils the return of Elton Brand (Don’t know if that is a good thing or not) and Maria and her hotness.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Who knew Cole was a long shot to actually show up.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Yeah, and they replaced his with the bullpen catcher…wtf?
January 24th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Ay MikeY, did you see me up on the Fan-O-Vision? meech.two and I were up there right after they showed DeSean Jackson. Pretty funny.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:33 am
I saw you! and I knew it was you because of the Manuel jersey.
Can’t believe Cole didn’t go. Shane Victorino should play for the Sixers.
January 25th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Any word as to why Cole was a no show?? And did Lidge have sandales on?
January 25th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I may have seen you meech, I don’t remember though. I was taking pics of him and Donovan.
Get any good shots of the trophy? I got about 5 good ones, from 5 diferent angles…360 degree viewing angle my ass…it was maybe 180.
And did you see what they keep it in? I was over there when they were taking it down, its a green pillow case with a drawstring to close it up.

Thank You 76ers website for telling me I would be able to get my picture WITH the trophy and wtf were they talking about 360 degree view? Anybody know what upcoming (open to the public) stops I can go to in order to actually get my picture with the commish trophy.
Im a sixers fan as well but I dont drive all the way from state college to see them play the F’n knicks.
Anybody else at chickies and petes after the game looking for the temporarily lost cell phone of eagles wide out Greg Lewis?
