Philadelphia Phillies fan Lionel Rodia--His real name is Mike, but they call him Lionel because, like the train, he can't be stopped--experienced a World Series unlike any other fan.
Up 3 games to 1, the Phillies went into game 5 of last year's World Series hoping to emerge victorious as world champs. Rodia also walked into game 5....with a free ticket, and he somehow maneuvered from his mediocre seat to "the swanky Diamond Club section behind the plate" where his friend, "Tush" was sitting.
After the Phillies win, Rodia then sneaked onto the field of celebrating players and their families where he was tossed a championship t-shirt being handed out by the bat boy.
Where in the world did Lionel Rodia go next? The clubhouse of course.
Now Lionel starts going lotto-champagne crazy, squirting multimillionaire athletes up the nose, in the eyes and down the shorts. He pours an entire bottle over the head of slugger Ryan Howard. Matt Stairs gives him a head butt. He kisses pitcher Jamie Moyer on the cheek and yells, "Thank you for everything!" And Moyer yells, "No, thank you!"
Now Tush's cell rings again. But it's not Lionel. It's a buddy going, "I swear I just saw Lionel on TV celebrating in the clubhouse! But that can't be, can it?"
