Why are the Phillies Wearing “Tapiopa” Shirts?

Say what now?
The Inquirer’s Matt Breen explains exactly what’s going on here:
The Phillies are wearing t-shirts tonight inspired by Charlie Manuel’s mispronunciation of “Tapioca” during the whisper challenge game they show in the ballpark. “We’ve all been saying it for a while,” Brad Miller said. pic.twitter.com/HMP4F1G4LY

Tapiopa pudding, haven’t had it in a while, but maybe I’ll buy some at the Richmond Shops IGA this weekend.
Nice to see Charlie Manuel having such an impact already.
Hitting season, it is.
