Beer and champagne showers, goggles, fog machines. Yes, when the Phillies win, and they’ve been doing a lot of that in recent years, they certainly know how to throw a party. But the music - that’s what’s become the hallmark of the club’s celebrations. This past week, when the Phillies clinched their first division title in 13 years, was no different. KYW Newsradio’s John McDevitt explores the origins of the team’s “Winners Win” playlist, curated by catcher Garrett Stubbs and a trio of DJ’ing brothers who are diehard Philly sports fans.
