A familiar face in Philadelphia baseball and Athletics history was at Citizen’s Bank Park, as the legendary Connie Mack has his own cutout.
For just over five decades, Connie Mack was Philadelphia baseball. The legendary owner/manager of the Athletics was a constant presence, managing the franchise from its inception in 1901 through 1950. His name was a part of Major League Baseball from the start of his playing career in 1886 through the final game at Connie Mack Stadium in 1970.
