PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A memorial service will be held on June 6 at Citizens Bank Park for Philadelphia Phillies chairman and former team president David Montgomery. Montgomery, 72, died Wednesday after a five-year battle against cancer.
The service will begin at 3:05 p.m. and will be open to the public. Gates will open at 2 p.m. and parking will be free.
“One of David’s favorite times of the year was the MLB draft,” Lyn Montgomery, David’s wife, said. “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate David’s life, and his love of the game, than to invite his friends, colleagues and Phillies fans into his second home at the conclusion of the draft.
