With the often sub-par play on the field at Phillies games, one vendor attempts to entertain in her own right. Emily Youcis, better known as the “Pistachio Girl”, announces her presence throughout the stands at Citizens Bank Park to both drive sales for her Cracker Jacks and peanuts as well as entertain the fans nearby.
However, Youcis went into the spotlight Saturday afternoon for a different reason. Protesters were gathered around the Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., to protest a convention held by the National Policy Institute, a group labeled as “white supremacist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
