During Monday night's Philadelphia Phillies game, the Philly Phanatic dressed as Lady Gaga and danced around an umpire...or so it seemed.
The 'umpire' turned out to be part of the act, and he ripped off the black umpire jacket and cap to reveal a yellow flamenco shirt while he put on a black mask. After the masked man pulled some flowers out of his pocket, he danced the tango with the Philly Phanatic.
Afterwards, the masked man gave out carnations to fans in the crowd. Curious how they slipped the 'extra umpire' onto the field without anyone noticing. I guess you had to be there.
