No way the Phillies could lose the Phanatic – or could they?

For more than four decades, the Phillie Phanatic has entertained fans of the Philadelphia Phillies, first at Veteran’s Stadium and now at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phanatic, as he is more simply and frequently referred to, also represents the organization on not only the broader baseball landscape, making appearances at numerous MLB and MiLB events, but also makes numerous non-baseball public and private appearances, including many at charity events.

In recent days, rumors have begun to spread that the Phanatic could soon possibly become a free agent.

As with a player, the Phillie Phanatic’s contract with the organization may be up, and he could conceivably take his services elsewhere.
