The attendance at Thursday night’s game was 19,047. That’s Langhorne’s Zip Code.
The population of that zip code is around 35,000. I’m sure Phillies brass would have been thrilled with attendance like that. With the zip code itself, not so much.
By the way, I heard the attendance from the press box PA in the radio broadcast background. Never heard Franzke announce it. Orders from above?
They should be embarrassed.
