I served 20 years as a Naval Aircrewman. I was around jet engines constantly, an environment consistently above 90 db. But that was nothing compared to this!
Its being reported that one of Bryce Harper’s HR hit a peak of 112 decibels. I can’t even tell if its this one 0:21 or that one 0:34 . That’s how INSANELY consistent this Phillies crowd is with their raucous environment 🔥🔥
YO! This production is beautifully put together. To be able to hear us without anything! No voice over, music … just the moment!💙💙💙 Thank you for this!
Literally not true as during the mid 2010s the Phillies finished bottom 5 in attendance in all of baseball for several years in a row. Something that can never be said about Yankees Red Sox cubs cardinals dodgers etc fans
@@swizzle1199 nope it literally isn’t. Quick ESPN search will prove me right. Look up mlb attendance figures from 2014-2018. There’s a few years where it’s downright pathetic. Something Yankees Red Sox cardinals cubs fanbases would never experience
Hey MrLegend. Real nice job w/ these vids, and big thank you from all of us a long way away who can't get to the Bank. I used a clip from your Stott's 4-banger vid in mine on my WhatGoodFunProductions channel, 'We're NOT Dancing On Our Own'
Call me crazy, The moment Harper hit that home run in the 3rd inning in the NLDS game 3, I was up in north Philly too railfanning by the CSX Trenton line and plane spotting flights approaching EWR because that’s where the flights approach over North Philly and I swear to god I thought it was another plane or train approaching, but it was the crowd that I still heard from miles away. I’m not joking, I wish I had a video of it.
In all fairness I must say the Phillies fans get pretty dang quiet when the other team has a rally going, even when they are ahead. Two separate times come to mind when the braves had 2 baserunners (they didn't even score and were losing) and the crowd went silent. They have looked like they are constantly loud because they have had the lead and momentum almost every inning this postseason. It doesn't make them better fans. It is merely a matter of temperament and opportunity. They are rowdy.
@@katyas-mom I'm not saying they don't support the team I'm saying everyone was calling them basically the best fanbase because they were loud but that loudness was only when they were clearly at an advantage. The second there was danger the fans got quiet because they were afraid of losing. It doesn't make someone good fans because they are loud...a sentiment you literally just agreed with.
@@stephenstone8480 I don't mean losing. I mean when they were up by several runs and there was a runner or two on and they got dead quiet. Happened the whole ATL series. But actually I can think of some fans that are loud regardless in playoffs. Boston comes to mind.
I saw a video title "the special relationship between Phillies and their fans" or something. Well basically the real relationship is we ar gonna boo you when we first get you until you prove yourself (except in turners case at the end, but true for Harper and Bohm) and if you make it through the booing anc come out the other side then we can cheer for you....until you go on a prolonged slump then youre booed. This isn't good fandom. They like the players when they are up but don't support them when they are down until the radio hosts in the area finally convinced them(so I heard) to stop booing Turner
@@katyas-mom but I do get it. You mistake this as something unique to Philly when in reality it is not unique at all. Anyone who has been in the military, jail/prison, been around certain types of men, or even witness the behavior of many animals understands. It is basically a trait of masculine psychology. We treat you a certain way and when you respond a certain way back we respect you. I've actually dealt with it most of my life. I don't personally like it but it has its merits. In many ways it brings out the best in some people and the worst in others. But let's not act like there's not an element of getting drunk and ragging on people at the ballpark involved either. It's largely instinctive behavior. My point is its not good if you want to get the best out of your players....at least not right away. It's really not even hostile in nature but it easily turns to that.
@AT-dx9pf whenever I'm asked about Philly sports & fans from outsiders, I tell them all we want is for the players (this goes for all teams) to give their all, play hard, and care like WE the fans care. That's all thats needed to be beloved in this town. Because we truly do care. We don't boo just boo; no, we boo when it deserved whether it a player, coach, official, mascot, etc. It's not easy to play here at times but we do have their backs. You take care!
@@melissaford717 doesn't it seem that they boo players when they are slumping generally? That would indicate they are upset because the player isn't playing well and he hasn't endeared himself to the fans enough for them to cut him some slack. If some Phillies fans are as you say and that truly is the sort of soul of Phillies fans then I would point out that I am addressing a shadow part of the fan base. A part that exists as a sort of negative side to the positive. Every team has those fans and while generally they have many things in common there is a particular style to the darker side of an individual teams fans, perhaps.
