Citizens Bank Park is the place to be in Philadelphia during the National League Championship Series. Even Eagles players are catching baseball fever rooting for the Phillies.
Jason Kelce attended Game 1 with his brother, Travis. And thanks to social media, we know D'Andre Swift and Terrell Edmunds had great seats for Game 2. Bleacher Report filmed the two teammates taking in their very first baseball game and quickly becoming fans amid the Phillies' postseason frenzy.
Edmunds, in particular, showed a sense for the moment when he predicted Kyle Schwarber would "do damage" shortly before he went deep for one of his two home runs off the Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly.

Both Swift and Edmunds admitted they knew little about baseball before watching Game 2 from behind the plate. But the two expressed admiration for how games are played and the difficulty of facing a 100 mph fastball.
Virtually any sport is more fun to watch in person, especially when you see the game from angles not available on television. Add a ballpark packed with raucous fans who love their Phillies along with some catchy music and it's impossible not to get caught up in the atmosphere.
They do this throughout the summer, guys! Maybe a game in July isn't as intense as an October postseason matchup. But Swift and Edmunds sound like they might check out this baseball thing again.
