After a dismal start to the 2026 MLB season, Alec Bohm faced the possibility of losing his starting position due to a .159 batting average. Following two nights off from play, he returned energized, famously declaring “Elmo wants to see a home run,” and hit two home runs in a game against the Rockies, finishing with four RBIs. Although he didn’t replicate that performance the next day, he contributed to another Phillies win. This marked a potential turnaround for Bohm, attributed humorously to the influence of the beloved character Elmo.
