Most professional ball parks have them. Coca Cola Park does not. I wondered why, maybe you all could help me understand.
A ball person sits down the foul lines and scoops up foul balls down the line. Their basic purpose is to run after the errant balls, not in play, and allow the game to proceed faster as the outfielders won’t have to chase down those foul balls. Did I hit a topic there? Speed of play? Faster games?
The Phillies actually have a ball girl team. The organization takes time to select local athletes, yes athletes, where they work every Phillies games and also work hard on charity projects throughout the season. Charity, faster games AND pretty girls. Well, being the equal opportunists we are.. I would suppose both women and men could perform this task.
Let’s hear from you Ironpig fans!
OinK!




Quicker games would mean less socializing time, flag waving time, smoke blowing time, harassing the pretzel vendor time, beer time, hearing Laura laugh time, upstairs bar time, overall would equal to less fun. Just one man’s opinion.
Oh yeah, faster games would mean less time for my daughter to play in the kid area, and when she is not with me, less time for adult beverages! Or did I cover this already?
I”m not sure how to vote on this one. I think it would be a good idea, but then the bat boys in the duggout won’t get their workouts. lmao….
Dan—-great idea, use your pull and Philly Pretzel will hire and pay both ballgirls for every game—–BERT
Way to go Bert!!!!! I like the idea of ball girls at the park.
Hmm, hungry for a pretzel. Guess I’ll walk down the street for one. It’s really nice to have a Philly pretzel about 100 yards from the house.
