'It's invigorating': Lifelong Phillies fan takes in a game at the ballpark
Betty Taggart, 95, described the energy during a Philadelphia Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park as "invigorating." She went to Monday's game and was visited by former Phillies player and coach Milt Thompson.
PHILADELPHIA - Betty Taggart never misses a Phillies game, and Monday night was no exception!
The 95-year-old from Sewell, New Jersey, got the opportunity to take in the game from the ballpark as the Phillies took on the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
It was a very special night for Betty, who is blind, and usually listens to the games on her radio at home.
However, this time, her daughter and son-in-law decided to get her a seat in the stands - an atmosphere Betty described as incredible.
"The energy of the facility is just invigorating," she said. "It just runs through your veins."
And the night got even better when Betty got a surprise visit from Milt Thompson, 1993 National League Champion, 2008 World Series Coach and Phillies ambassador.
