As postseason baseball returns to South Philadelphia for the first time since 2011, a fan favorite from the greatest era of Phillies baseball will get the party started at Citizens Bank Park.
Former All-Star outfielder Shane Victorino will throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Game 3 of the National League Division Series with the Phillies and Atlanta Braves knotted 1-1, according to multiple reports.
Victorino played eight seasons in Philadelphia and was the team’s everyday center fielder as it won four consecutive NL East division titles from 2007-2011 and the 2008 World Series championship.
