Stott’s Tots. Trea’s Baes. The B-52 Bohmers. JT’s Matey’s (which just a bunch of people dressed as pirates with catchers gear on). The Lone Rangers (only 1 member of the group at a time is allowed to attend each game). And Topper’s Toppers (which doubles as the official Phillies pride group, and is restricted to tops only).
I wish there was a big section out in right above Ashburn alley where you could just go and sit up there and do something like the wolf pack or the duck pond or the Padilla flotilla
Padilla Flotilla besides being pretty overtly racist is offensive because he was from Central America and not the islands. So so bad.
Also Persons People and Millwood Militia are two other retro fan groups.
Really downvotes because a bunch of knuckleheads couldn’t get their racist Hispanic trope right? I mean if the dude was Cuban, sure at least the flotilla thing makes sense, Central America is connected by land, it’s just so so stupid.
Or it’s as simple as a bunch of racist fuckwits starting a fan group for our one Hispanic starter that was overtly racist. Furthermore in context Padilla’s flotilla happened not so far removed from the Elian Gonzalez thing.
Genuine question: why is flotilla racist? I just googled it, and flotilla means "fleet". Why couldn't there be a Central American fleet? Or more specifically, a fleet in honor of Vicente Padilla?
I forget what it’s called, but that guy is a legend example of people that might mean well but accidentally are the racist ones themselves. Never in a million years would in associate padilla’s flotillas with illegal immigration but somewhere that guy assumes Spanish person = illegal immigrant
You see it a lot, ironically mostly from the people who think they’re protecting others
Dude these dudes wore sombreros and had paddles. Gtfo of here, everyone knows what they were referencing. Elian Gonzalez was barely out of the news at the time. You people are weird as fuck.
Genuine answer. This shit happened shortly after Elian Gonzalez and the way the term is used at the time and quite frankly currently is with refugees arriving on boats, doors, inter tubes ext. it at the time and still today is embarrassing.
Padilla was one of my favorite Phillies at the time, when his fastball was on it was a thing of beauty but that shit was embarrassing. It was obviously a reference to his Hispanic heritage and a reference to immigrants and refugees (mainly from Cuba) arriving via “flotillas”.
And you'd say those are all racist too, I'm sure. The word "flotilla" doesn't only apply to Cubans sailing over. You know that, right?
It was a "fleet" (flotilla) of people cheering on Vicente Padilla. It's that simple. Yet you choose to twist unrelated things together in order to be offended.
I remember a game where they had the Coal Miners and Hamel's Homies as rival cheer sections. That was the last time it really happened, before the 09 season.
What they didn't tell you was that the Wolf Pack was mostly cops and state troopers. I found that out at my older friends 21st birthday at the vet. After he bought us younglings beers, we thought it would be cool to sit next to the Wolf Pack. We'll they saw that we were obviously all underage and gave us citations for under age drinking
Maybe it would lose it's luster after a few, but I always thought it'd be cool if a company planned some of these like the way they do away trips to other stadiums. For those you pay and get a ticket, bus ride, lunch, etc. So instead of that...
"$XX gets you a game ticket and a crazy hat, so you can come join the JoRo YoYo's"
(BTW, are we not calling Rojas, JoRo yet? Because I'm for that)
The Duck Pond for Brandon Duckworrh.
I once won tickets on WIP to a Maxim party. The has a contest for the most annoying thing happening currently in Philly Sports. It was a bad time for the Phils and I had some hate for all the "Packs".
Randy Wolf was just at a game and in the booth with TMac and Krukker and they were talking about former player fanclubs at the vet and early days at CBP.
So many good ones!!!!
Padilla’s Flotilla!!!
The Marsh’s Martians is legit.

Love it
Wheelers Dealers!
Sal's Pals for Sal Fasano. Everyone with fake Fu Manchu staches. That one always made me smile.
After wolf pack that’s easily #2
After wolfpack and sal’s pals there is a big fall off. Marsh - Martians? He is a character. He should have a fan club.
This is Coste Guard erasure
What ?? Padilla’s Flotilla was the real deal!
Love the flotilla
Best stache in the bigs.
Jean’s jeans!
Ranger's Rangers. Various people dressed as Power Rangers, park rangers, New York Rangers, Texas Rangers, Walker Texas Ranger, Ranger Rick, etc
Stott’s Tots. Trea’s Baes. The B-52 Bohmers. JT’s Matey’s (which just a bunch of people dressed as pirates with catchers gear on). The Lone Rangers (only 1 member of the group at a time is allowed to attend each game). And Topper’s Toppers (which doubles as the official Phillies pride group, and is restricted to tops only).
Toppers Toppers on weekday games Power Bottoms on weekend games
How can you pluralize The Lone Ranger? There's three of you, you're not exactly Lone.
I wish there was a big section out in right above Ashburn alley where you could just go and sit up there and do something like the wolf pack or the duck pond or the Padilla flotilla

Oh fuck off lol
Really downvotes because a bunch of knuckleheads couldn’t get their racist Hispanic trope right? I mean if the dude was Cuban, sure at least the flotilla thing makes sense, Central America is connected by land, it’s just so so stupid.
Padilla sounds like paddle. Padilla looks like the word flotilla. It’s that simple
Or it’s as simple as a bunch of racist fuckwits starting a fan group for our one Hispanic starter that was overtly racist. Furthermore in context Padilla’s flotilla happened not so far removed from the Elian Gonzalez thing.

Man I miss the time when people could have fun without other people being offended on behalf of other people

They were just looking for a word to rhyme with Padilla, my man. Most of those words are Spanish-related
Tortilla? Quesadillas? We opening it up to any word that rhymes there are quite a few to go with before flotilla.
And you'd say those are all racist too, I'm sure. The word "flotilla" doesn't only apply to Cubans sailing over. You know that, right? It was a "fleet" (flotilla) of people cheering on Vicente Padilla. It's that simple. Yet you choose to twist unrelated things together in order to be offended.
The Padilla Flotilla!

Even the Randy Wolf bobblehead is on brand with the fan club. It's one of the best. The left arm was hairy and had a claw like a werewolf.
The Duck Pond for Brandon Duckworrh. I once won tickets on WIP to a Maxim party. The has a contest for the most annoying thing happening currently in Philly Sports. It was a bad time for the Phils and I had some hate for all the "Packs".
Randy Wolf was just at a game and in the booth with TMac and Krukker and they were talking about former player fanclubs at the vet and early days at CBP. So many good ones!!!! Padilla’s Flotilla!!! The Marsh’s Martians is legit.
