'I am Philadelphia' Allen Iverson stopped by the Phillies game, talked about his love for Philly

Iverson is doing some community work in the city this week and -- as you can gather in the main video -- he still has a ton of love for the city where he made his name, saying that when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame, so does Philadelphia. We only wish he would wear this getup the day he goes in:
