Major League Baseball returns to London this weekend with the 'Battle of the Broads' being shown live across the BBC on Saturday and Sunday.
Only eight players have hit more home runs so far this season than Pete Alonso and Bryce Harper , who are both on 14on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website and app on Saturday from 18:00 & Sunday from 15:00.
As divisional rivals in the National League East, they and the Phillies - one of the MLB's oldest clubs having been founded in 1883 - have since faced each other more than 1,000 times, with the Phillies edging their head-to-head record . "The Mets are the highest-paid team in baseball," Posnanski adds. "There were great expectations but so far they've failed to live up to them."The Mets' payroll may be $309m , but the Phillies - who pay $246m a year - signed Bryce Harper in 2019 on a then-record $330m, 13-year contract.
The Mets' power hitter is Pete Alonso, a burly first baseman nicknamed 'Polar Bear', while Puerto Rico shortstop Francisco Lindor is "certain to make a few dazzling plays".Kaitlin Olson, Rob McElhenney and co-star Charlie Day are Phillies fans and even tried to rally the crowd during last year's National League Championship Series
At his retirement ceremony in 2019, Utley threw the first pitch to McElhenney, yet the actor's connection with the team goes even deeper.
