From the moment an Eagles fan was spotted at Lambeau Field with an incredible — and somewhat disturbing — Phillie Phanatic tattoo on his belly button, internet fame was inevitable.
But really, it was only a matter of time until the fan, who is named Rob Dunphy, was introduced to the actual Phillie Phanatic.
Well, the season finale was the day. During the Phillies’ game against the Marlins on Sunday, a shirtless Dunphy was welcomed at Citizens Bank Park to show off his belly-button ink and dance alongside the actual Phillie Phanatic.
See: Dreams really do come true. This was Philadelphia Sports summed up in one video.
Dunphy, who described his internet fame to phillymag.com, said that he’s not done with the mascot-inspired ink. He plans to get a Gritty tattoo right above the Phanatic once he can afford it.
In the meantime, he’ll always have this image.
What a week it’s been for him.
