Video: Phillies’ Mascots Recreate Viral Moment of Byron & Cabot
The world of sports has seen its fair share of iconic moments, but few can match the level of cuteness and humor that went down during a recent baseball match between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies’ mascots, Phillie Phanatic and the Rally Muppet, recreated a viral moment that had the internet in stitches, and we’re here to break it down for you.
For those who might have missed it, the original moment in question involved Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot sharing a rather…intimate moment on the Kiss Cam during a baseball game. The video, which quickly went viral on social media, showed the two holding each other in a tender embrace before awkwardly pulling away sheepishly.
Fast forward to Friday night, when the Phillies’ mascots decided to pay homage to the viral sensation. During the match, Phillie Phanatic and the Rally Muppet took to the Kiss Cam, and the results were nothing short of adorable.
From the moment they appeared on the screen, it was clear that these two mascots were about to recreate the viral moment in the most charming way possible. With their bright colors and goofy grins, they made the perfect pair to bring the original moment to life.
As the camera panned in, Phillie Phanatic and the Rally Muppet locked eyes, and before we knew it, they were embracing each other in a tender hug. It was a moment that was both sweet and silly, with the two mascots clearly having the time of their lives.
But just like the original moment, it wasn’t long before the mascots began to feel a little self-conscious. Phillie Phanatic let out a goofy squeal as the Rally Muppet pulled away, and the two of them ended up in a fit of giggles.
The crowd, which had been watching the moment unfold on the Kiss Cam, erupted in cheers and applause, clearly entertained by the mascots’ antics.
The decision to recreate the viral moment was likely a nod to the Phillies’ commitment to having fun and embracing the lighter side of baseball. In an era where sports can sometimes feel overly serious, it’s refreshing to see teams and mascots alike embracing their playful sides.
And let’s be real – who wouldn’t want to see two lovable mascots recreate a viral moment that had the internet talking? It’s a reminder that, at the end of the day, sports are meant to be enjoyable, and that a little bit of humor and whimsy can go a long way in bringing people together.
So the next time you find yourself at a baseball game, keep an eye out for the Kiss Cam – you never know when you might catch a glimpse of two mascots recreating a viral moment that will have you laughing and smiling.
