It was a scene that would make Roy Hobbs blush.
Fans at the Philadelphia Phillies home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers were treated to a light show Wednesday night as a storm system swept through the city.
Blake Harris, a reporter who covers the Dodgers for TrueBlueLa.com, posted a slow-motion video on Twitter that showed a lightning bolt reach across the night sky like the tentacles of an octopus. Harris told Fox News that the video was from the Spectrum SportsNet LA broadcast.
