Daily News | Mikal Bridges, a Philly native and former Villanova star, revels in Phillies’ World Series run
The Twitter timeline, with posts primarily in all caps, could have belonged to any Phillies fan.A singular annoyed emoji quickly followed by “NOW IM SMILING AGAIN” after the ninth-inning comeback in Game 1 of the NL wild-card series against the St. Louis Cardinals.“BRYCEEEEEEEE,” followed by the iconic “Hit that Jawn” photo from the Game 3 NLDS win over the Atlanta Braves.“SORRY IM LATE BUT SCHWARBY IS BACK” and “JUST BREATHE !!!!” during the Game 1 NLCS victory in San Diego.
“I’m just like, ‘What a time. I wish I was back home experiencing it,’” Bridges told The Inquirer before Monday’sThe Phillies are the local professional team to which Bridges remains most connected. His favorite NFL team is the Los Angeles Rams because he played with the “Greatest Show on Turf” teams anchored by Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk on the Madden video game.
World Series first pitches were at 5:03 p.m. out west, meaning he could watch the first couple of innings and perhaps sneak in a score update at halftime of Suns games. He watched the final out of Game 1 on his phone before a live postgame television interview, clapping while talking about the “Fightins” instead of his 27-point outing against the New Orleans Pelicans. He wore a Phillies jersey and cap to a recent news conference.
