EGG HARBOR TWP. — Still can’t get enough of the Phillies?

There is a way to keep those World Series memories alive other than watching highlight DVDs.

The World Series Trophy, a player, a broadcaster and the Phillie Phanatic will be at Chickie’s and Pete’s 1-2:30 p.m. on Thursday in Egg Harbor Township.

“We are getting phone calls asking who is coming and when,” said Chickie’s and Pete’s manager Chris Sheldon. “It’s like the World Series is starting all over again.”

The World Series Trophy Tour, presented by Teva Pharmaceuticals and Comcast Sportsnet, is making stops throughout the Delaware Valley this month.

“The passion of our fans throughout last season and the postseason was phenomenal,” said Phillies Marketing and Sales Senior Vice President David Buck in a press release. “Now, we want to take the trophy to them.”

Thursday’s stop is the best chance for fans in Atlantic County to get up close to the trophy. The player and broadcaster scheduled to appear will be announced today.

“We expect a very big crowd,” said Sheldon.

He added: “Trust me it feels like the Phillies are back in the World Series again. (The staff) can’t wait to take a picture with the trophy. You just don’t know when the next time to do it will be. Everyone is really excited.”

The excitement from October has carried on through the NFL playoffs with the Eagles back in the NFC title game this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

“It has been off the charts,” said Sheldon. “It really has been exciting. The enthusiasm that both teams have brought to Chickie’s and Pete’s is something we have never experienced before.”
