PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Baseball fans took over Broad Street in Center City Philadelphia to celebrate the Phillies' victory over the Padres.

Bryce Harper slugged his fifth homer of the postseason, a two-run blast in the eighth inning that turned Citizens Bank Park into a madhouse.

Bars cleared out the moment the Phillies secured their first World Series appearance since 2019.

"This is amazing. We were here in '17 (for the Eagles), '08. We're not done yet -- four more," said Mike Horwits of Center City.

"This is for my dad, we love you," said Heather Klein. "Oct. 29, 2008, he never got to see it. This is for him."

Some traffic lights were greased ahead of time, but that didn't stop some fans from trying to climb.

The first World Series game is set for Friday in Houston. Here's a look at the full schedule.
