In 1978, Dave Raymond brought to life the Phillie Phanatic, a character that would revolutionize sports entertainment and bring joy to millions—and one day save his own life. More than three decades after taking over, his successor Tom Burgoyne carries the Phanatic's legacy forward, preserving an enduring symbol of joy across generations—and a profound bond between the two men who’ve lived the character.
