Hafthór Björnsson, better known as The Mountain to "Game of Thrones" fans, crashed the Phillies pregame routine on Friday and we're loving everything about his visit.
Björnsson took some awkward looking cuts in batting practice. He took some pictures reminding us that, yes, The Mountain is tall. He even messed with the Phanatic.
