The auction is over, the results are in. The Phanatic around Town project raised more than $250,000 for Phillies Charities. The lead Phanatic was, no surprise, the "Phillie Phanatic", created by team illustrator Melissa Maani and signed by all members, here and gone, of the 2010 team, including manager and coaches. It garnered $50,400. I wanted to see the popular statues about town but had to settle for the Walk in the Park.
