Phillies managing partner John Middleton had a strong reaction when hearing a montage of Phillies' postseason clips Thursday morning:
Phillies managing partner John Middleton gets emotional while listening to our postseason montage.
Middleton: “Goosebump moments. That’s a replay of my life…That [background] reaction [from the fans] that’s why my job is important. That’s my mission in life.”

Middleton was making an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP Thursday morning as part of the announcement that the Phillies and Audacy have reached an agreement to extend their relationship:
94WIP and the @Phillies have agreed to a multi-year extension.

The Phillies will try to add more postseason memories to that montage beginning Saturday afternoon in NLDS Game 1. They will host either the New York Mets or Milwaukee Brewers, who will play a win-or-go-home Game 3 of their NLWCS Thursday evening. Either way, the game will be at Citizens Bank Park, and it's safe to assume that the environment will be electric.
