READING, Pa. (CBS) — The Reading Fightin Phils will play as Los Peleadores, wearing special jerseys as they celebrate Fiesta Friday at FirstEnergy Stadium. The celebration recognizes Latino culture both within minor league baseball and around the Reading area.
Thick summer air is best sliced with the crack of a bat. The smell of concessions easily float in it and in that haze, moments seem to linger just a little longer.
“There’s about three, four generations of families who have come through the ballpark,” assistant general manager Matt Hoffmaster said.
FirstEnergy Stadium is the home of the Fightin Phils, the Philadelphia Phillies’ Double-A affiliate, located just about 60 miles northwest of Center City.
