Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh Embrace the City of Brotherly Love
The Philadelphia Fighting Phillies are the hottest team in baseball right now, and I'm not just talking looks. Their phenomenal record is the best in MLB, and their success is due to the combination of talented young players, experienced veterans, and their beloved mascot, the Philly Phanatic. They are an unstoppable and enjoyable team to support. One of the best things about the team is the camaraderie among the players. A standout friendship is a bond between Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh, who truly have embraced the 'City of Brotherly love.'

Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh have an extraordinary bond within the realm of professional sports. Their friendship is like that of brothers. For sports enthusiasts, they are reminiscent of iconic duos such as Kobe and Shaq or Brady and Gronk. For those less interested in sports, their dynamic mirrors pairs like Blake Lively and Taylor Swift or Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox - all sharing an unbreakable bond, just like Alec and Brandon.
Alec and Brandon are best friends on and off the field, making them virtually inseparable. They are roommates and locker mates and often are seen arriving at Citizen's Bank Park together. When asked how the pair survive without any separation, Marsh told NBC Sports, "That's my brother, man. That's my dog. I go to war with two-eight". The pair genuinely are nothing short of adorable.
“I wouldn’t know what I would do without him [Alec] here in Philly. He keeps me grounded.”
Alec and Brandon's friendship is a constant source of joy and entertainment for the fans. After every win, the Phillies have a tradition where fans can vote for an MVP of the game. During the post-game interview with the MVP, Brandon and Alec, with the help of Bryson Stott, pour water on the MVP to celebrate. This playful tradition and their other antics always make the fans smile. Last Friday, after a win over the Washington Nationals, Brandon was the Daycare's victim. You can watch the heartwarming tradition here.

Each year, the Phillies host the "Phillies Phantastic" auction benefiting various charities, where most players contribute an event or piece of memorabilia, such as a home-run derby with Bryce Harper or catching practice with J.T. Realmuto. This year, however, one item stood out more than others.
One lucky winner and their group of friends were given the opportunity to play a mini-golf round with Alec and Brandon at Citizens Bank Park. The bidding war for this started almost immediately, and a fan even went to TikTok to suggest to all female fans that they should put their money together and treat the golf like a Bachelor group date. Sounds like a plan to me! The golf round sold for $28,510, helping the auction break a new record of $548,200. It is safe to say that every Phillies fan cherishes these two.
Alec and Brandon genuinely embody the spirit of Philadelphia. They treat each other like family, making it almost impossible not to root for them. If you're looking for a fun, loving, and highly entertaining team to support, look no further than the Phillies. And if baseball isn't your thing, you can still cheer for the best bromance in baseball.
