Poles will be greased sometime before the game.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Phillies magic is alive and well. It has consumed the city of Philadelphia.
Sunday morning, city crews were working to place barricades around City Hall as officials prepare for a large celebratory party.
Poles will be greased sometime before the game.
It's just some of the protocols and security measures in place to control large crowds in anticipation of a Phillies NLCS win.
"It shows the passion. If you're from Philadelphia, you automatically have passion, can't spell 'passion' without a P, can't spell Philadelphia without a P," said Roger Baker of Northeast Philadelphia.

"I'm excited. I think Harp's going to show up, like he does always, that's why he's getting paid all that money, think Turner's going to show up too. It's all you need, a couple home runs. I'm ready," said Phil Hantz of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
