The Phillies’ ‘Video Dan’ Stephenson is the man who’s seen it all

Unkempt, unassuming, and usually unnoticed, Dan Stephenson is the Phillies' Zelig. Concealed by familiarity, this chameleon with a camera has witnessed and recorded the momentous and the mundane throughout 36 years of team history.

Since 1982, the Phillies' manager of video productions has been a ubiquitous team presence, chronicling nearly every public and private moment from pregame cow- milking contests to postgame championship celebrations.

He and his camera were there when a chorus of champagne-soaked '93 Phillies joined Harry Kalas in singing "High Hopes" after clinching the National League East title. He was in a Citizens Bank Park runway when Jimmy Rollins confronted Pat Burrell before Game 5 of the 2008 World Series.
