You've seen them by now. Thousands upon thousands of white waving towels urging on the home team at Citizens Bank Park. The team has given them to fans at the gate to create an exciting "playoff" atmosphere. "I'm so excited about this team I want to bark," said visibly intoxicated fan Jim Corondoni, of West Chester,Pa. Maybe it's the towels Jim.
The team approached the city over a month ago to present the "towel project." A plan that called for the towels to be made from the city's stray cats and dogs. "We have a huge stray animal problem that puts a terrible strain on this town," said Gary O'Mally, president of Here Kitty Kitty. Reports have strays chewing traffic light wires to stealing cars to turning on fire hydrants. The team contracted all the operational duties of the project to Cats-To-Towels,Inc. of Jasper, Delaware.(A separate company handles the stray dogs,but wanted to remain anonymous.)
A Phillies intern thought of the project back in June after losing ample sleep to the cats that congregated in the alley behind her South Philadelphia home. "If I heard one more meow...let's just say I'm really enjoy waving those towels," said the intern.
