    Learning to be a Phillies fan from Pop

    By WolfsComing  |  Posted June 11, 2012  |  Quakertown, Pennsylvania
     
    First time that Dad took me to a Phillies game we had just climbed all the way up to our yellow seats at the top of the Vet. My rear end had barely settled into my seat when the PA announcer was telling who was throwing out the first ball.
    "and now throwing out the first ball tonight, the mayor of Cinnaminson, N.j..."
    I never heard the guy's name because my father leaped up and unleashed a thunderous leather lunged "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
    People all around us looked and laughed.
    I was confused. We lived in Bucks County, and I had no idea where Cinnaminson NJ even was.
    My Pop sat down with a big smile and slapped my knee.
    "That's what you do at a ball game, son!"
    He saw his first opportunity to pass along a Philadelphia tradition - boo like hell - and took full advantage of it.
    Got it!
