On October 1, 1970, Connie Mack Stadium was demolished by fans following its final game. But how did this altar to baseball become such a blight on Philadelphia? The full story of Connie Mack Stadium will be told this summer in A Cathedral on Lehigh. Watch the trailer now:

@TheConnorPils God forbid a white boy got a little juice.

This remains the cringiest moment of the 2025 season

CBP is still gorgeous, but can't deny it's worsened with all the screens and ads. Look at it in its 04 majesty

@kharry2415 @2008Philz Time to switch to Red Bull. Or just stop and save your liver.

@2008Philz I drink a ghost every day And my last names Harry I am conflicted

Ghost will be despised by a lot of Phillies fans for this. And they’re paying for the privilege. Fascinating decision.

@MLBNetworkRadio @JimDuquetteGM @SIRIUSXM Lmao no one is afraid of playing in Philly

"I don't think anywhere has ever been as loud as Philly." Bryce Harper isn't intimidated by the crowd in Miami tonight: #WorldBaseballClassic 🎧 Listen live on @SiriusXM and the SiriusXM app 🔗 sxm.app.link/WorldBaseballC…

Utley’s fake throw, his first career HR, his “YOU ARE THE MAN” moment in Atlanta and his parade speech will all be included in the Wall of Fame montage. This play, which saved 2008 NLCS Game 4 and allowed the Stairs HR to happen, better not be left out.

He's one of only six players to have more than 200 HBPs in the modern era. Congrats to Chase Utley, the toughest Phillie of my lifetime. Wall of Famer.

Chase Utley - Wall of Famer - Mets Killer

The United States having to count on Aaron Nola to advance is a parable I think

@pirates_at448 True, but if you then shift back to the opposite side, you're leaving the pull side open.

@BenHSilver Is this not sample bias? Many lefties are heavily shifted to pull so basically anything left side gets through?

A note on Justin Crawford from Foolish Baseball's latest vid. Lefties have a .432 BABIP when hitting the ball the oppo on the ground and a .505 BABIP when hitting the ball hard (>95+mph) oppo on the ground. Crawford does this a lot, and it should translate to success in MLB.

@joekornik It’s a joke buddy

So he wears a Phillies cap on his Hall of Fame plaque right?

Check out my latest for @PhiladelphiaSN on Bryson Stott. Is there precedent for Phillies spring stars going supernova during the regular season, or is Stott destined to join the likes of spring training sensations Kepler, Merrifield, and Cave? metrophiladelphia.com/stories/bryson…

@Robtush @dan_wilson4 @SportsRadioWIP Look at this dude so insecure in his masculinity that he's trying to take down other dudes for using the word "adored" lol.

@dan_wilson4 @SportsRadioWIP some grown men on this platform have actually admitted to “adoring” Bryce Harper - yes, grown man used the word “adored”

7 years ago today: We all reacted this way when Bryce Harper signed with the Phillies. Taking everything into account, would you say you like him more or less than you did back then? We’ll debate that and more tonight 7-11pm on @SportsRadioWIP.

Seen a lot of people calling this a meatball, but the camera position really isn't doing Painter any help here. This pitch had 2444 RPM, the same average RPM Sandy Alcanatara had on his slider in 2025. It would rank 122nd of 252nd among qualified pitchers last year.

*Painter, gd autocorrect. Now I’m gonna look stupid in front of all the cool kids.

If Painters can locate his change-up this season he’s gonna have a sub-3.00 ERA. Kid is dirt nasty. Just gotta keep the adrenaline down.

@InTheAlleyPod Plus an additional $11 mil from Luzardo. Although he hopefully gets resigned.
