Philadelphia is excessively popular for its cheese steak. Analogous to that, esteemed Fox Analyst Ben Verlander reached the streets outside Citizens Bank with an interesting question that tested the moral demeanor of Phillie fans.
Fans of the Philadelphia Phillies never fail to surprise
As is visible in the video above, Verlander approaches people and asks them a question, “Do you want a cheese steak? Or should I double it and give it to somebody else?”

In an adorable display, the number of cheesesteaks, which started at 1, eventually multiplied to 32, until a fan finally took them. It resulted in one fan profiting from others’ generosity and taking 32 cheese steaks home.
This is how the world of Twitter reacted to Ben Verlander’s antic:

No shit. But you can’t get a cheesesteak from front and Oregon in CBP. Also, chicken cutlet w/ rabe and sharp prov is better anyway

32 cheese steaks at a ball park = $3,363,264.99

Padres fans will take one
Phillies fans hell no— Johnny Gomez (@johnnysfgiants) October 23, 2022
Despite being put on the back foot after the first innings itself, Philadelphia Phillies made a magical offensive comeback and stole the match 10-6 at home.
How is the championship series currently placed?
Both the championship series, American League, and National League, are currently standing at two opposite ends of the spectrum. And while one seems like a fair battle, the other is turning out to be a walk in the park. Yes, Houston Astros is embarrassingly walking past the New York Yankees and approaching an unbelievable ALCS whitewash.
On the other hand, while the Padres are doing a good job at competing, they are now down 3-1 in the series. Philadelphia Phillies entered the postseason as unexpected underdogs. They beat the Cardinals in the wild-card round, dominated past reigning World Series Champions, Atlanta Braves, and are now competing with the Padres, who also entered as underdogs.
