Sporting events bring fans together across the country, and one bar in San Diego is known as the place to be if you're a Philadelphia sports fan. As the Phillies-Padres NCLS gets underway, the owner of Pretzels and Pints calls it the "perfect storm."

"The next day it was like Holy… it happened. And it's all happening so quick. It's a surreal, unbelievable moment that I'll never forget. It's been fantastic, it's been a great ride," John Paul Lacoangelo said.

Lacoangelo, better known as Boomer, owns a Philly-themed bar in the North Park section of San Diego. He says Pretzels and Pints is a "cozy little neighborhood bar" where Philly fans living on the West Coast come together for Philly sports games.
