Phillies fans are excited to see their team in the spotlight again, to say the least. 

According to the MLB and MLB's official e-commerce partner, Fanatics, the Phillies set a 24-hour record for LCS winner merchandise sales (ALCS or NLCS) following their Sunday night win over the San Diego Padres to advance to the World Series. 

The previous 24-hour record was set by Cubs fans in 2016 after they defeated the Dodgers in the NLCS. 

The Cubs were in a 108-year World Series Championship drought with 2016 marking their first Fall Classic appearance since 1945. 

However, the Phillies ended a drought of their own with this run, reaching the postseason for the first time since 2011. 

According to the MLB and Fanatics, the Astros and Phillies set a 24-hour record for combined ALCS and NLCS winner merchandise sales after their collective clinches, breaking the record previously set by Chicago and Cleveland.
