In the climax of the Hollywood film "The Thomas Crowne Affair," the protagonist, a lovable yet mischievous super thief, avoids the authorities by dressing up dozens of people in a museum exactly as he is--a bowler hat and finely-tailored black suit. The gambit works and Crowne escapes.
The scene in the Amazon Room today is reminiscent of the big screen show. Every few minutes, you'll think, "There goes Dennis Phillips!" Then a second later, it's "No, THERE'S Dennis Phillips!" A bit of investigation reveals Dennis Phillips has once again brought a posse of doppelgangers to root him on at the World Series.
"There must be at least 40 of us," said one southern California fan.
Phillips is both loved and generous. His fans come from all reaches, and his friends--"Five or six of them," Phillps said--received courtesy buy-ins to the World Series from their buddy who placed third in last year's Main Event.
"We have fun," Phillips said with a smile.
As Phillips sits in Day 1C, he looks a bit like a NASCAR driver. His shirt has more patches than buttons. In one glance, he is an advertisement for Ford trucks, Poker Road, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, PokerStars, the EPT, the APPT, the LAPT, Bad Beat on Cancer, the Albert Pujols Family Foundation, and the Schindler Law Firm.
You will note quite a few charities on the list of Phillips advertisements. A connection you might miss is a single signature on his fresh St. Louis Cardinals cap. It reads: "Dan Harrington."
"I'm getting as many notable pros to sign my hat and then I'm going to auction it off for charity," he said.
Somebody may want to tell Phillips that he should sign the hat, too, as he's becoming pretty notable around these parts--not to mention ubiquitous.
