The Phillies are headed to the National League Championship Series, they only did so by getting past the Atlanta Braves. Well during one of those games, the dad of a Phillies player was blessing people with some beer during the games.
This reminds us a lot of Rhys Hoskins’ wife, Jayme, last postseason who was buying entire sections of beer during the incredible run they had last year. If you haven’t heard about it, you can read about it here!
The Dad of a Phillies Player Buying Beer
This is perhaps the most wholesome thing you will see because once you find out what player it was, you are totally going to say “Oh yeah, that makes sense for sure.” This player is a favorite in the clubhouse amongst the players. He embodies the spirit of Red October and was on the team last year.
A Clue As To Who It Is
A member of XTU Nation, Holly Pachella, was at the National League Division Series game three against the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies beat them 10-2 and the crowd was INSANE the entire time. She posted a photo on her Twitter account with her, a friend, and the father of a Phillies player. Here’s the photo.
Why Did He Do It?
He actually saw Holly wearing the jersey of his son and, according to her post, he asked her “What are you guys drinking tonight, I saw your jersey… I’m XXXXX’s father I want to buy you a drink.” It is so stinkin’ cool that he would take the time to buy a round for a couple of Philadelphia Phillies fans enjoying the greatest playoff atmosphere that baseball has to offer, that at Citizens Bank Park.
We are going through a list of some of the ten players that it COULD be, and then at the bottom, you will find out who it is!
Bryce Harper's Dad
Could it be? I mean, Bryce loves him Philadelphia, super passionate about this city. We think it’s a very real possibility that this man could be his dad. Do you see a resemblance?

Alec Bohm's Dad
This could be it too! The starting third basemen has become a staple in this organization. Hoping he really lights it up in the National League Championship Series. Could this be his dad?

Trea Turner's Dad
This could be it too! You never know! He’s new to the team after a big free agent signing in the offseason. Could his dad be the nice guy buying the beers?

J.T. Realmuto's Dad Is Hooking The Beers Up?
Could be! I mean, J.T. is America’s catcher so it’s very possible. He has been a huge part of this team this season. Hoping that it is his dad!

Kyle Schwarber's Dad Could Be It
I mean, he did have a monster homerun season so maybe his dad is so excited that he decided to share the love, who knows? Do they look alike?

Bryson Stott's Dad
Bryson Stott is going to become a dad here soon and now is his dad the one buying all the beers? Could be! See a resemblance?

Aaron Nola's Dad
So Nola was pitching in Game three, which is when the photo was taken. So maybe? Or would Nola’s dad be TOO nervous to be just kind of walking around hanging out and buying beers?

Zack Wheeler's Dad?
Well, this might make more sense, right? Because his son wasn’t pitching maybe this is the right answer. See a resemblance at all?

Garrett Stubbs' Dad Could Be The Answer
Do you see the possibility here? I mean, Stubbs may be a backup catcher on this team but he’s talented enough to be starting on quite a few other ball clubs!

Craig Kimbrel's Dad In The Stands?
He’s new to the team this year so it would make sense to get really excited for the closer’s first postseason appearance as a Philadelphia Phillies player!

And The Answer Is...
Did you have a guess? One last look at all of the team…

GARRETT STUBBS!
Here’s the original post from our new friend, Holly!
I wore a Stubbs jersey to the game Wednesday night .. this guy finds me in the crowd to say, “What are you guys drinking tonight, I saw your jersey.. I’m Garrett Stubbs father I want to buy you a drink” 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Red October is something else, Go Phils!!! ❤️🔔@GarrettStubbs @Phillies pic.twitter.com/fbEOgUZJQA
— Holly Pachella (@HOLLYatme_) October 13, 2023We had a feeling that this guy would be the answer. He’s such a great one in the clubhouse, it’s no wonder his dad is so awesome in the concourse!
