The Phanatic's chaotic visit to the Phillies TV booth ended with popcorn flying everywhere

By Adrian Garro

Be careful if you are ever subjected to the goodwill of a baseball mascot, because things can get messy.

At some point during the broadcast of Monday's D-backs/Phillies game, John Kruk said something about wanting some popcorn. The Phanatic, being the kind soul that he is, decided to bring some ballpark popcorn up to the TV booth ... but this was no easy task.

Then again, I doubt Kruk specified whether he wanted boxed popcorn or just popcorn in general ... which was what he got in the end anyway.
