There is a reason why we are the center of the Mascot Universe. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18yab8rjss/
The last time the MLB All-Star Game was in Philadelphia was 1996. That was also the first time that all of the mascots from around the league were invited.
The MLB has been sending all mascots to the All-Star Game ever since.
“When the All-Star Game comes around, all of the mascots really do show a lot of brotherly love,” said Tom Burgoyne, the guy who, for 38 years, has called himself the Phillie Phanatic’s best friend. “There’s a lot of love between the mascots. Once that regular season starts again, then all bets are off.”
