From the rear cover
Philadelphia's baseball history goes beyond Shibe Park. Philadelphia's Old Ballparks is both a documentary and an oral history, providing colorful descriptions of all the old professional parks and the many teams that played in them. Baker Bowl, with its right field wall so close to home plate, for instance, prompted sports writer Red Smith to quip, "It might be exaggerating to say the outfield wall casts a shadow across the infield. But if the right fielder had eaten onions at lunch, the second baseman knew it". Shibe Park's idiosyncrasies are also well-documented, as are the others. The recollections of dozens of people: players, owners, vendors, ushers, groundskeepers, and fans have been called upon in recreating the world that was held within those walls.

Description:
Temple University Press, 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Fine, fresh copy in equally fine dust jacket. First printing. Hardcover. 206 pp. with index, bibliography. Profusely illustrated with photographs. Philadelphia baseball fans know Citizen's Bank Ballpark and Veteran's Stadium, and some may still remember the old Shibe Park/Connie Mack Stadium. This photographically illustrated book provides the stories not only of those (well, not Citizen's Bank since it was published before that one was built) but of all the old professional parks and the teams that played in them. The oldest Philly fields went back to the pre-professional 1860s when the Athletics played at 15th Street and Columbia Avenue.
