Saturday Roundup: Another Grown Man Weeps Upon Seeing Yankee t-shirt
The Big Lead —
... Phillies mad about World Series introductions. Matt Stairs called it ‘bootleg.’ He is now my favorite player in this series. (ESPN) ...
The Phillies Would Like An Introduction
FanHouse —
... Before game one, only the starters were introduced on television because apparently Fox asked MLB if they could shorten the introductions. Well, this upset quite a few members of the Phillies, including veterans ...
Phillies Oldies Want Their Moment to Wrinkle in the Sun
Walkoff Walk —
Everyone loves the pomp and pageantry of the World Series. The music, the bunting, the pre-game ceremonies that drag on for hours and hours. It's fun for the whole family, as long as the family isn't watching on TV. FOX has no time for your tired sentimentality old man, so buck up and let's get this game moving! ...
Give The Players An Introduction, Will Ya?
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae —
... their entire lives to reach this point. The least FOX could do is let them get a nice tip of the cap in.

Rays Index —
... The Phillies were more than a little upset when the backups were not introduced prior to game 1. It shoudl be noted that the Rays backups were not introduced either and did not have issue. It should also be noted that this is a decision made by the TV network and backups have not been introduced since 2004. [ESPN] ...
Open thread: Rays vs. Phillies, World Series Game 4
Big League Stew —
... We're back at Citizens Bank Park with 45,900 of our closest Philly phanatics and the Phillies hold a 2-1 edge in the World Series. Everyone is dressed in red, the real Phillie Phanatic is scooting around the field and they're finally announcing the Phillies, player by player. (Last night's intro was rained out.) If you're a Philadelphia sports fan, it doesn't get much better than this. ...
