Phillies Players Get Emoji-Fied For New Shirt

By Chelsea Lacey-Mabe

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Going to the Phillies game tonight? Some fans may be sporting a new t-shirt featuring emoji versions of throwback players like Mike Schmidt, Gary Matthews, John Kruk, Brad Lidge and of course the Phillie Phanatic.

The tee, inspired by #ThrowbackThursday, is supposed to be nostalgic of the years the team won the World Series (1980 and 2008) and the National League Championship (1983 and 1993).

The shirts are available to the first 200 fans that purchase tickets for Thursday home games through the #TBT Emoji Game package.

Each person pays $30 which includes a $12 concession coupon.
