The Philadelphia Phillies are wearing caps that honor their mascot—the famed Phillie Phanatic—Sunday at home against the Miami Marlins.

The Phanatic is featured on the team's batting practice hats, which the team wore in-game Sunday to celebrate the mascot's birthday. It's the second year the Phillies have worn the hat to celebrate the beloved furry, green bird's birthday—they donned them on April 21 last season in a win over the Chicago White Sox, per UniWatch.
