There's less than a week to go before the Phillies open their 2009 season and their quest to repeat as world champions.
And to honor the team, Mayor Nutter on Monday kicked off seven days of events dubbed "Paint the Town Red."
"With the 2008 World Series trophy, please welcome the Phillie Phanatic!"
And with that introduction, a very red Phanatic galloped into the mayor's reception room and shared a smooch or two with Mayor Nutter. Also on hand (above) were a couple of Phillies ball girls and members of the broadcast team.
(Nutter:) "Let's give another big round of applause to our World Series-winning Phillies!"
And Nutter declared this week 'Paint the Town Red' week:
"So there's going to be a lot of red, whether it's jackets, hats, uniforms, even ties."
The events include a blood drive on Tuesday, a food drive on Wednesday, and a 'pup' rally benefitting the SPCA on Thursday, all leading up to the big season opener against the Braves on Sunday night in South Philadelphia.
