The Phillie Phanatic is 39 years old. Really.

“Thirty-nine years after one of the most impressive marketing births of history, he still had the energy and the intellect of an 8-year-old.” (from Donnellon article)

 

Two articles to celebrate the occasion. (The one from Cut4 includes video of some of his “greatest hits”.)

 

And he had a great party this past Sunday.
