Chuck from Mount Airy took a bow on Wednesday's 94WIP Midday Show, just hours after Bryce Harper called him out by name during his postgame press conference.
Chuck calls in at 39:00 mark
"This is great man. This is freakin' amazing man. It just put a smile on my face all day man," Chuck told Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio.
"This is like taking the WIP caller thing to another level. I've never heard an athlete of the superstardom of Bryce Harper call out a WIP caller. But what I said yesterday is true. It's from the heart, man. The guy gets in here, he's a great player, we know that. But when you are loved here in Philadelphia and the way you are received here in Philadelphia is when you can relate to the fan base. Bryce is the type of guy that, he relates to us man. When you relate to us, we relate to you."
Chuck also spoke with KYW Newsradio about the moment, as well.
Harper hit his ninth home run of the month on Tuesday night and said he hit it for Chuck after the game.
"I was driving in today and I was listening to WIP today, like I do a lot in the two o'clock hour," Harper said. "A guy named Chuck called in...I walked in the training room and I was like, 'I'm going to go deep tonight for Chuck!' That guy had me fired up man."
Here's Chuck call from Tuesday's 94WIP Afternoon Show that Harper was referring to.
