New Hall of Famer Jim Thome and other Phillies icons wished the Eagles luck in the Super Bowl
Before Super Bowl LII, the Phillies called upon some famous alumni to wish their next-door neighbor Eagles luck on Sunday -- a group that included new Hall of Famer Jim Thome:
Cooperstown's newest 600 Home Run Club member wasn't alone, either. Perhaps hoping to inspire the Eagles to the crown, the Phillies called upon Jimmy Rollins, Mike Schmidt and Larry Bowa, too. All three players won World Series titles in Philadelphia.
