The Phanatic has car trouble, proves he's just like everyone else

The Phanatic has trouble getting his vehicle to move

Look, cars are tricky. Actually, motorized vehicles in general can be troublesome. There's an engine that usually involves some sort of combustion, any number of wheels and whatever steering mechanism that just happens to be there. A lot has to go right for someone to get from point A to point B.

According to the announcers for the game, the Phanatic's chosen mode of transportation was running, but immobile. Because cars, amIright?

Thankfully, two understanding staffers at Bright House Field were there to get the Phanatic moving the old-fashioned way: with four feet and really strong calf muscles.

Kudos to those guys. Considering the Phanatic's official bio lists his weight as "300 pounds (mostly fat)," it probably wasn't the easiest push.
