The "Baseball Isn't Boring" movement has grown in 2023 and a pair of Philadelphia Eagles players learned that this week too.

Eagles players D'Andre Swift and Terrell Edmunds went viral on the internet after a TikTok surfaced of them talking about attending their first ever baseball game, which happened to be a Phillies NLCS win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

You can see the hilarious video below courtesy of Jomboy Media.

That's the good stuff, isn't it? The players talked about not knowing how many games are played in an MLB season, the frequency with which guys can pitch, the frequency with which pitchers are changed in a game, the overall vibe around the sport, the fanbase, and the batters walk-up songs.

It's cool to see these guys fall in love with the environment - and give back to the other teams in their city. The Eagles made the Super Bowl in the 2022 season and appear to be very strong again in 2023, and it's always fun to see athletes from the city connect with each other.

And they are certainly right, the vibe at Citizens Bank Park has been awesome this postseason, and the Phillies have yet to lose there in these playoffs.

As for the Eagles, they are 5-1 and sit atop the NFC East. Just maybe Phillies players will be showing up in January to watch them play in the playoffs as well.

Game 3 of the NLCS is being played on Thursday afternoon. First pitch is 5:07 p.m. ET and the game will be played in Phoenix.
