My first game was in 1965 with my father as he drove a bus full of neighbors from Norristown on a group outing to Connie Mack Stadium.
He had told me stories of growing up just 5 blocks away from the stadium. He had just started as a part-time bus driver while working full-time at Alan Wood Steel Co. in Conshohocken. I recall my friends and neighbors telling stories about the ending of the 1964 season and the high hopes everyone had for 1965!
I enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells of the old ball park and have been a baseball fan since I can remember.
