This certainly supports Floppy's point that the Phillies are officially a brand at this point.

How much additional worth does widespread popularity of a player add to the franchise?

6:32 p.m. As McCarthy and Wheels, both wearing black Phillies shirts, turn their backs to the ballfield and face the booth camera to prepare for their live pregame comments, McCarthy sees himself on a monitor, looks worried and says, "I went with the white [crew neck] undershirt instead of the V-neck."
Longtime cameraman Charlie O'Gara reassures McCarthy that he looks "just like Elvis," then adds, "Michael Jordan wears the white undershirt."
McCarthy brightens. "Jordan couldn't score against me," he fantasizes, blocking an imaginary Air Jordan shot that is, in reality, just air.
Somehow, McCarthy segues from Michael Jordan to Wendy's: "Ever have The Baconator?" McCarthy asks the crew. "Three burgers! The bacon! The cheese! The mayo!"
McCarthy gives it everything he's got, as if The Baconator is a walkoff home run. It is clear to everyone in the booth that, like themselves, this man desperately needs a ballgame to broadcast. And soon.
