Items related to Shibe Park-Connie Mack Stadium (Images of Sports)
No ballpark in Philadelphia was more revered than the one at
Twenty-first Street and Lehigh Avenue. Originally called Shibe
Park and later Connie Mack Stadium, it opened in 1909 as
America’s first steel-and-concrete stadium. When it closed in
1970, it had earned a special place in the hearts and minds of
Philadelphia sports fans. Home of the Athletics for 46 years, the
Phillies for 32 and a half seasons, and the Eagles for 18 years, it
was also the site of many boxing matches, Negro League baseball
games, and college and high school baseball and football games.
Over the years, as the area developed, Shibe Park became known
for its obstructed views, delicious hot dogs, Sunday curfews,
absence of beer, and boobirds. Along with memorable teams and
games, the ballpark played host to eight World Series and two
All-Star Games.
