76ers NewsRoom

Philadelphia, PA - January 22, 2008- The 76ers will have a few special guests tomorrow night when they take on the Pistons at 7:00 p.m. at the Wachovia Center as they celebrate “Phillies Night.” National League MVP and Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, along with his teammates, outfielder Shane Victorino and pitcher J.C. Romero, will attend the game as guests of the Sixers and participate in activities throughout the baseball-themed evening.

From the moment fans walk into the Wachovia Center, the night will feature elements incorporating the Phillies, as they will be greeted by both the Sixers Dancers and Phillies Ball Girls. Additionally, the concourse will feature a pitching station and baseball-themed games on a Nintendo Wii.

Halftime promises to be entertaining, as the Rollins, Victorino and Romero will play a little basketball, competing in a “shootout” on the court. Also, fans in attendance will have a chance to receive their autographs in a unique way, as the three players will send signed waffle balls into the stands. But the Phillies players themselves won’t be the only visitors, as the Phillie Phanatic will also be making his over to the Wachovia Center. Don’t be surprised if the Sixers own mascot, Hip-Hop, doesn’t go out of his way to congratulate his good friend on recently being named the top mascot in sports.
