If the Eagles need any extra defensive help, they might want to look next door at Citizens Bank Park.
One security guard in Philadelphia showed some solid football form when he took down a trespasser following the Phillies’ 10-0 drubbing of the Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the NLCS on Tuesday night.
The fan, wearing a dark shirt, appeared to get on the grass somewhere in left field and continued on his joyous run through the outfield and even ran past members of the Phillies’ bullpen leaving the area and walking toward the dugout.
As he continued to outrun security from the left side of the field, one guard coming from right field rocked the fan with a brutal blindside hit.
There was no flag on the play, and at least one member of the Philadelphia relief corps appeared to fall down in some sort of combination of shock and amusement.
Lefty reliever Jose Alvardo even put his hands on his head in what seemed like utter disbelief at what he saw in front of him.
The TBS broadcast of the Phillies’ handshake line appeared to inadvertently catch the players celebrating on the infield react to the big tackle, as a number of players turned their heads toward right-center field as the crowd went ballistic.
Kyle Schwarber, who blasted two more homers in the romp, even pointed toward where the action was taking place.
If the Eagles, coming off an upset loss to the Jets, are looking for secondary help, the Phillies might be able to point them in the right direction.
