An email was sent to all Rutgers-Camden students on Tuesday, Oct. 27 asking for images of "diehard Phillies fans" in 24 hours. Three winners can purchase a pair of tickets at half of the $300 face value.
Rutgers-Camden sophomore Corey Mulholland's Phever led him to Yankee Stadium for game one in the series, where he openly displayed his full-body red reaction. And the Star-Ledger took notice, as did many Yankee fans.

According to Tom Snyder, business manager at the Camden Campus Center, the response for the photo contest has been overwhelming. He credits student worker Deven McGarrigle, a senior psychology major, with the idea.
"My inbox is overloaded," he says. "It's been so exciting to do this for this students. We just have to be creative with how to share the tickets. Asking for photos has gotten our best response yet."
Faculty and staff chewing at the bit for Phillies tickets, can partake in another contest led by the Campus Center in which contestants must correctly count the number of baseball gumballs in a bin. The winner of two free standing room only tickets will be announced on Friday, Oct. 30. The runner-up gets the gumballs.
