“We’ve Got Something Special” – Philadelphia Phillies’ Shocking NLDS Sweep Invokes Euphoria in US First Lady Jill Biden

The National League postseason has pleasantly surprised the entire realm of baseball. What began with the Padres beating the Mets in the wild-card round, stretches to San Diego Padres, conquering past MLB toppers, Los Angeles Dodgers. And most recently, Philadelphia Phillies beating the reigning World Champions, Atlanta Braves 3-1.

On entering the Championship Series, wishes flew out for the Phillies from all across the States. Along with a special wish that visited the Phillies from the White House, in Washington DC. Not figuratively, as Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, was watching the fourth NLDS game on her way to Orlando.
