As time was inching closer for the game to officially start, anticipation was brewing to see who would kick off the best time of the year with the first pitch.

Rhys Hoskins.
Philadelphia Phillies
The heart and soul of the Phillies.
What a special moment to open the Wild Card Series. What a special moment for Hoskins.
Let's go Phils.
