The excitement surrounding the Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series run is hitting even the youngest fans – and in one case, getting them into a little nighttime mischief.
Michael DiPietro sent NBC10 a video of his son using Phillies Game 3 as an excuse to get out of bedtime. There was only one problem: the Phillies weren’t playing Monday night.

Luciano was very confused when his dad caught him red-handed. It seems that the little guy might have confused Monday Night Football for the Fightins.
Maybe he’ll have some better luck Tuesday night when the Phils get to finally play Game 3 against the Houston Astros at Citizens Bank Park.
