A 6-year-old boy from West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County has been named the 2023 Kids Mullet Champion.
Rory Ehrlich won the contest on Wednesday, beating out other kids across the country.
The rising first grader says life has been pretty exciting since he entered the contest and became mullet-famous in Philadelphia.
“He was invited to the Phillies game and he got to meet with John Kruk and talk mullets,” says Airen Ehrlich, Rory’s mother. “Rory now thinks that John Kruk is his bestie.”
She says that while they were at the stadium, some teenagers recognized him and started a “mullet kid” chant.
“It was hysterical,” Airen says. “Rory was laughing and cheering. It was really cute.”
