"We were all cheering and the ball was coming right towards us, and then hit the ground, and there was a scramble for the ball," recalled Tracy Oldziejewski.Tracy Oldziejewski is the Phillies fan who came up with Bryce Harper's two-run homer, which helped send the team to the World Series.
"The top of the lineup was coming up. J.T. got a base hit, and we knew Harper was coming up. So we had a feeling something good was going to happen," recalled Oldziejewski."We were all cheering and the ball was coming right towards us, and then hit the ground and there was a scramble for the ball. I saw it, picked it up, and yeah, I have it," said Oldziejewski.
"People were picking me up in the air. My hat fell off. I didn't know what the score was. I knew that we at least tied it, I didn't know we were ahead. That's how crazy it was in that moment.""It's great to be a part of Bryce Harper's winning home run to put us into the World Series. Just to be a part of that history, I'll probably remember for the rest of my life," said Oldziejewski.
So the lingering question is: what now? Oldziejewski says she is still not sure what she will do with the ball, but she plans to get in contact with the Phillies organization.
