PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — There’s nothing like a game of bocce ball to bring out the competitive spirit. The Phillies’ front office staff on Wednesday teamed up with Special Olympics Pennsylvania to hold a game of bocce ball at Citizens Bank Park.
The organization hosted students from Northeast High School as part of its month-long initiative to give back to the Philadelphia community.
About 16 kids participated in the game Wednesday. The kids also received a tour of Citizens Bank Park and met the Phillie Phanatic.
“We have regular ed and special ed kids working together,” Chris Riley, a bocce ball coach, said.
