Trivia / Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia S 05 E 06 The World Series Defense

• Defictionalization: On June 21, 2019, the Philadelphia Phillies held a retirement ceremony for Chase Utley, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Rob McElhenney. That’s right, Mac finally got his catch with Chase Utley.
• Reality Subtext: The episode's script was originally written to feature the actual Philly Phanatic, but Major League Baseball wouldn't allow it. This led to the show using a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of the mascot as well as adding Charlie's rant about how they had to do this to avoid a lawsuit.
