Dave Dombrowski and John Middleton Party
Dave Dombrowski’s not like all your other GMs. He’s a cool GM:

Dombrowski looks like the old guy at the corner bar who is in there from open to close seven days a week. Except this guy was handed $230 million and told to go wild:
Scenes from the winning clubhouse: Nick Maton, wearing a Miller Lite case as a hat, barking at everyone. Dave Dombrowski wandering around in shorts and flip flops giving high fives. Everyone — everyone — dousing Jean Segura.

Listen, if the Phillies win the World Series, Dave Dombroski can walk around hanging dong for all I care.
On the other end we had John Middleton. Everything about John Middleton screams billionaire tobacco salesman. The ashy toupee. The way he dresses like a mortician. The way he high fives like he’s never been a part of one before:

It’s all so beautiful and cringe at the same time. Even his wife was like “wrap this shit up, the guys want to party” –

You think they stitched his toupee into that hat so it wouldn’t slide off his head when it got wet? Had to. This has to be the best day of his life since he hired that P.I. to dig up dirt on his sister so he didn’t have to give her more of the family fortune.
Right now, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber are neck and neck for MVP of the clubhouse celebration. Oh you want your Bud sponsor to get all the shine Rob Manfred? Not on my watch! Let me get my 30 rack of Miller Lites in front of every single camera I can:

He gave the Skip a great beer shower:

And he just set the Phillies franchise record for most multi-HR games in a season:
