This is a big achievement for the song and the singer. However, the latter shared this credit with the Phillies. He expressed, “A HUGE thank you has to go to @Phillies also for making this song their anthem two years running.”?
Further continuing his point, he expressed his gratitude, “It?s an honour boys and I?m incredibly grateful to the players, the club and most importantly the fans.” Calum even thanked the original singer of the song for the remix version and fans for streaming it.
Two years back, the Phillies replaced their previous anthem, ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ with Scott’s song. They have been playing the song at the ballpark, in the locker room, in every celebration. So, it has become their new anthem. This, in one sense, even proved to be a lucky charm for the team. Since the new anthem came, they are second time on their way to the World Series. However, Thursday night was not good for the Phillies.
