Sept. 24 -- BOMB SCARE

BY SCOTT LAUBER

Before games, Greg Dobbs and Jayson Werth usually walk through the Phillies' clubhouse with matching black T-shirts that read "Bomb Squad ... Defuse This!"

Well, there was an actual bomb -- and a defusion -- at the Bank today.

Three suspicious packages were found outside the ballpark, on the first-base side. The ballpark was partially evacuated shortly before 5 p.m., and several Phillies front-office members were told to leave their offices on the East side of the building. The Philadelphia Police detonated the packages and found nothing harmful. There's a rumor that the packages contained hot dog buns, but Phillies officials said they aren't aware of the contents.
