The tribute to Alaine Porter hit the road when a Phoenix area friend brought her picture to Friday’s game. “This is a way to celebrate her life and her love of the Phillies.”
PHOENIX — A few days ago, Lauren Sammartino, a friend of the late Alaine Porter, came up with an idea.
Cericola, who will sit just behind the Phillies dugout on Friday, put Porter’s photo on a sign with her name and the dates of her birth and of her passing. She wrote “Phillies’ Good Luck Charm” on the sign, because she believes they’ll win any game in which her friend is present. Cericola grew up in the Lehigh Valley and now lives just outside of Phoenix. She tries to go to as many Phillies games as she can, and bought tickets to Game 4 before learning of Alaine’s passing. Once she heard of Sammartino’s idea, she was convinced that she was here for a reason.
