LONDON (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets are enjoying London so much they might not want to go home.

Can you blame them? There's business ahead with a two-game set this weekend, but Friday's workout at London Stadium was a laid-back affair following team dinners the night before.

“It was really nice to have a proper pint of Guinness,” Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said.

A group of Phillies visited the Tower of London for an event before heading to a Philly-themed bar. Phillies manager Rob Thomson estimated the crowd at 500 fans.
