There will be one sure thing at Citizens Bank Park on Monday when the World Series resumes with the teams tied at 1-all: the Phillie Phanatic will put on quite a show on Halloween night.
PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 22: The Phillie Phanatic performs during a game between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on July 22, 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. No telling how well Philadelphia pitcher Noah Syndergaard will do in Game 3 of the World Series. Or whether Astros dynamo Jose Altuve will deliver another three hits.
In the 2008 World Series, Philadelphia had a 3-1 lead going into Game 5 at Citizens Bank Park. The Rays tied the score at 2 in the sixth inning on Oct. 27 when play was suspended with the Phillies about to bat. The game began in light rain, but showers turned to a steady downpour and the field became a quagmire.
Hoberg is 36 and joined the full-time umpiring staff in 2017. It would usually take an ump much longer to get such a plumb World Series assignment, but he ranked as the best pitch caller in the majors this year among umps with at least 30 games behind the plate. Umpscorecards said he had a 95.4% accuracy rate going into his first World Series.
