The remastered photo shows, in great detail, fans crowding the rooftop bleachers built by home owners along 20th Street outside Shibe Park. These bleachers served as the inspiration for the “Rooftop Bleacher Section” at Citizens Bank Park. The photo also shows, in great detail, just how poorly dressed fans are today. Instead of having a cheesy 80s Retro Night, I say the Phils organize a “Back to the 1910s Night.” I’ve been waiting for an occasion to break out my spats.
