The Philadelphia Phillies are riding the high from a wild fan base at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies have won all six home games in the postseason. They can go to their second straight World Series with a win in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series Monday against Arizona. There's a palpable buzz at the ballpark from the time the gates open.

“Look, we could be playing on the moon. Everybody is talking about coming into this environment,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said, “and I don’t care.” Oh, Phillies games weren’t always this euphoric. Certainly not Philly sports fans. But the days of the same stale jokes about Santa Claus and snowballs have become as extinct as the Vet.
Only strangers erupted at the Vet, Wood joked: “He’d knock your knees out from behind you and grab your beer on the way down.” “Whenever you’re able to have fans travel with you on the road and be here for you in these spots, it’s huge,” Harper said. “Just kind of gives you motivation and the people behind you and knowing that you have Philadelphia fans here with you.”
“That poor kid last night, he never heard anything like that,” 1993 NL champion outfielder Milt Thompson said. “He never heard anything like those fans chanting ‘Merr-ill! Merr-ill!‘”
