Philadelphia Phillies clinched the National League wild-card berth. They headed straight to the postseason and it happens to be their 2nd consecutive year. A big deal indeed. Beating the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night, set off a wild celebration not only in the outfield but also on social media.
The 3-2 win in 10 innings was a cause for cheer considering last year’s baggage. Dating back to last year, the Phillies were ready for another clubhouse bash. They clinched series victories in the NL Division Series and NLCS in Citizens Bank Park the previous season. Unfortunately, when they lost the World Series to Houston last year in 6 games, they knew they had to tie some loose ends this year.

The Phillies cashed in their chips to the playoffs in an amazing moment walking off over the Pirates – special thanks to Johan Rojas. He presented a two-strike single to center in a clutch situation. This sent the crowd of Citizens Bank Park into a frenzy. Not only that, MLBonFox shared an Instagram post displaying how the Fightin’ Phils savagely celebrated their feat. They danced and partied off to Callum Scott’s “Dancing on My Own”. The post was captioned, “BOTTLE POPPIN’ SZN! 🎥: @johnclarknbc”

It is important to note that, apart from clinching a wild-card spot, the Phils secured the No. 4 seed, which brings in the home-field advantage. This can be used to their advantage in each game of the wild-card series, best-of-3. The Phillies also have the highest win total in 2023 after 2011. Winning six in a row they now finish this regular season that most other teams only dream of.
The feathers on the Phillies’ cap call for a carnival and the essence of the celebration increased when fans joined hands on social media.
