Why?
They did it to raise money and awareness for homeless youth in Philadelphia, as part of the Covenant House “Sleep Out” program.
Eyewitness News did a ‘VO/SOT’ on it this morning, which is fancy industry lingo for “video + sound on tape,” where the anchor reads some copy before cutting to a soundbite:
Here are a couple of photos from John Clark via Phillies VP of Communications Bonnie Clark:
Nice job by Charlie Manuel, Larry Bowa and many with Phillies sleeping out in Philly tonight to bring awareness to the homeless in our city with @CovenantHousePA #Phillies

Can only imagine all the smelly walking dead annoying homeless people asking char & lar for money .
Used to have respect for them. Now they are liberal Social Justice types.
Caring for others or causes that don’t benefit me? These guys suck.
Charlie & Larry should show some balls and visit a nice bar in West or North Philly around midnight. They could sign autographs for all the Homies for charity. I’m sure they would raise a ton of money. Legendary Sonny Hill could provide security.
Maybe they should have offered the vagrants a shower and a job. But, good luck pulling them away from their 40 ouncers and their favorite downtown corner pissing spot.
The VO in VO/SOT means Voice Over, not VideO.
