PHILADELPHIA — Rob McElhenney is usually filming something. But no matter where the actor is, a Philadelphia Phillies game is just about always on. The 47-year-old Philly native sees a championship looming for Bryce Harper and the rest of a team that already boasts 60 wins entering Thursday and has the best record in baseball. He counts former great Chase Utley as a close friend and has golfed with 2008 World Series champions Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins. When the Phillies played in London last month, McElhenney was there for the games against the Mets, and even got on the field.
