A Priest, a Pastor and a Rabbi walked into Citizen's Bank Park
Monday to bless the opening day baseballs.
Pastor Jeff Raffauf, Father Joe Campellone and Rabbi Gregory
Marx were on hand to offer a blessing of good luck to the Phillies. This year
the team and the fans are praying for a championship season.
The three men of faith gathered in front the statue of Mike
Schmidt to offer their blessings to the opening day game balls.
"May it be thy will that the Phillies go onto victory
with a strong hand and outstretched spirit, bats of iron, gloves of gold,
pitchers who are exact in their skill and the spirit of Mike Schmidt that
inspires not only the players, but also the fans," Rabbi Marx said.
The Philadelphia Phillies will be testing their good fortune
during their opening day game versus the Washington Nationals starting at 3
p.m.
