Field Report/Featured Card: We were happy to attend the home opener and our first Phillies game as a foursome since World Series Game 4, which was terrible. We were cold, but the pregame ceremonies once again did not disappoint with the team making their way to the field via the outfield bleachers, Kane Kalas doing a phenomenal job with the National Anthem and a huge American flag once again being unfurled to cover the entire outfield.
Following the introductions of both teams, with members of the 2022 Phillies team getting the loudest ovations, the Phillies gave us the coolest moment of the day. Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins, both injured, were ready in Ashburn Alley to raise the team's blue 2022 pennant. We realized it could possibly be one of the last times we see Hoskins in a Phillies uniform, as he'll miss the entire season following his knee surgery.
Transaction: Before the game, Darick Hall (1b-dh) was placed on the injured list with a right thumb sprain and Kody Clemens (inf) was recalled from the IronPigs.
