Phillies mascots and fans mock CEO ‘kiss cam’ moment during game against Angels

PHILADELPHIA (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Philadelphia Phillies poked fun at the viral CEO 'kiss cam' moment to the delight of the entire stadium, with their mascots recreating the moment on the big screen during an MLB game against the Los Angeles Angels Friday.

Footage filmed by user @gpbosse4foundation shows the Phillies mascots pretending to be caught on camera, while a Coldplay song plays, ducking for cover and hiding their faces.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot went viral when they tried to hide from camera during a Coldplay concert and were subsequently rapidly identified.

It wasn't just the mascots getting in on the act, a Phillies fan was also seen holding a piece of paper that read. "This is my wife," as he kissed his partner on the kiss cam.

The GPBoss4Foundation is raising money for children impacted by Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) via their website.

The Angels defeated the Phillies 6-5.
