PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Phillies fans lined up early outside Citizens Bank Park for Game 4 of the World Series.



Many would do anything to get a ticket.



"My boyfriend's dad got the tickets so shout out to him, we're grateful," Maggie Frymoyer of Selinsgrove, Pa.



"If he needs a kidney, I'm there for him," said Troy Frymoyer.





Madison Raymond was also excited to be at the game. She's the daughter of the original Phillie Phanatic, Dave Raymond.

She wanted to get the full experience.



"He was a part of the 1980 World Series, so he was talking about, 'I got my moment to be there, see it, experience it. Now it's your turn,'" said Raymond.



We also caught up with Bobby Higginson -- a former Detroit Tiger who is a native of Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood.



"Everybody knows where my loyalty is at," he said. "I've been watching the Phillies all year long and I know what they're capable of. It's a no-brainer."



And one young Phillies fan told us his favorite part of the games.



"When they hit their home runs," he said.
