The Phillies played the last game of a home series against the Marlins on Thursday. The game collided with the demise of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Elizabeth II was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. She passed away peacefully in her Scottish palace at the age of 96.?
Many sporting events got canceled on Thursday as a mark of respect for the Queen’s passing. While a few other games began with the players paying their tributes. The Phillies too passed on their sincere condolences before entering the diamond. A Phillies’ online fan account by the name of ‘Phillies Muse’, shared the brief video adding a heroic edit.?
Philadelphia Phillies’ tribute to Late Queen meets home run salute?
The Phillies could not produce the desired result in the game on Thursday night. Nonetheless, the game was a cliff-hanging thriller. The Marlins defeated the Phillies by a 6-5 margin. On that note, the Marlins won by coming from behind.?
The Phillies took a 5-4 lead at the bottom of the 5th inning. But the Marlins altered the course of the game in the top of the 9th inning. Scoring two runs, the Marlins shut out a scoreless inning for the Phillies. So goes the reading of the finishing scoreline.?
But the trending global news of the moment is the Queen’s death. So irrespective of the game result, a Phillies fan focused on the pregame Queen’s memorial. ‘Phillies Muse‘ is a popular online Phillies fan account. The account shared the video of the Phillies’ tribute to the Queen with a blended clipping. The mixed reel contained a Nick Castellanos home run.?

Pointing out the fact:?
What percentage of people who see this do you think will be duped into thinking it's real? Or will they know the Phillies didn't play the Braves tonight.

Yes, in reality, the three-run homer by Castellanos was against the Atlanta Braves, a few months ago.?

But whether the Castellanos home run was from the same day or not, the tribute was indeed accurate.?
The outcome of the concluded series?
The Phillies won the recent three-game home series 2-1 against the Marlins. The Phillies now stand at the third spot in the National League East zonal rankings. With slim chances, the team will look to make a wild card entry in the National League Championship Series.?
