Each year around Christmas, the Phillies get in the giving spirit by awarding a local veteran with a trip to Phillies fantasy camp. They did it on Chris Stigall’s show in 2014 (and likely somewhere else last year).
On Good Day this morning, Sgt. Anthony Conly was gifted with a trip to Fantasy Camp and a replacement for the autographed Mickey Morandini signed ball he lost as a child:
