Visited the sites of @lostballparks in #Philadelphia yesterday before heading over to @CitizensBankPark, the @Phillies current home, for the game last night. #ShibePark, later #ConnieMackStadium, played home to the @Athletics (until 1954, they moved to Kansas City), the Phils (until 1970, the moved into #VeteransStadium) and the #NegroLeague’s #PhiladelphiaStars. Prior to the #Phillies move into #Shibe, they called home the #BakerBowl, a ballpark they played in from 1887 until 1938. Both locations are close to each other in North Philadelphia, Shibe stood at N 21st St and W Lehigh Ave and the Baker Bowl at 2622 N Broad St. #baseball #history ⚾️ 🏟 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQMMVlLuxx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
