Here's your chance for fans to prove they bleed Phillies red, as in red corpuscles.
The American Red Cross says there's an urgent need for blood donors, and until 1 p.m. today, the public's invited to stop by the Hall of Fame Club on the third base side of at Citizens Bank Park to give blood, get a rally towel, and have a chance to be selected to throw out the first ball at a home game.
The Phanatic will be on hand from 10 to 11 for the Phillies Blood Drive, held jointly with the Red Cross.
Ten drives at the ballpark since 2006 have collected almost 7,000 units of blood, enough to save an estimated 17,000 lives, according to the Phillies.
