It didn’t take very long for one of them to become part of the game.
In the top of the first, Freddie Freeman, the third batter of the game to face Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick, blasted a three-run shot to center field.
Broadcaster Tom McCarthy, glove in hand, managed to snag the homer.
After some persuasion by his broadcast partner former Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer, McCarthy decided to obey the unwritten stadium tradition and throw the ball back on the field.
