Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy spares no expense for a good prank NBC Sports Philadelphia

It's been a long season for the Philadelphia Phillies. Fans have the option of not tuning in on a nightly basis if they need a break from the slog of the 162-game season. But the broadcasters? They don't have that option.

So how do the broadcasters entertain themselves? Pranks are always a good idea.

With the Phillies playing in San Diego last week, Tom McCarthy saw an opportunity to have some fun with his boothmate and former Friar, Ben Davis.

Friend of the Level and wife of The700Level Show, Colleen Wolfe, made the lovely California road trip to Petco Park and helped T-Mac with the execution. She helped plant a Ben Davis jersey in the crowd -- a first for an MLB baseball game!

She talked about the setup on this week's The700Level Show. The Ben Davis jersey segment starts at about 2:30 of the above video.

The kicker? T-Mac paid $200 for the custom jersey just to pull the prank off. That's dedication to the prank. Well done.
