There was no shortage of smiles last weekend as the Phillie Phanatic made a special visit to Ocean City. The beloved Phillies mascot was spotted at Playland’s Castaway Cove on Saturday, greeting parkgoers and fans alike, even stopping for a few selfies. He made his way to the Boardwalk, rallying with fans at Prep’s Pizza, and waiting in line at Dairy Queen.

This was not his only stop at the shore. The Phanatic was also spotted in Wildwood on Sunday, saying hello to diners at the Boathouse Restaurant. His visit comes as the Phillies return from the All-Star break sitting in first place in the National League East. The team returns to action Friday night against the Angels. First pitch is at 6:45 p.m.
