Sorry something's up with the ESPN site can't seem to cut and paste.

You can just go to www.phillies.com for info. I saw my first MLB game there when I was 6. I was there for Doug Drabek's almost no hitter August 3, 1990 against the Phillies, broken up by Sil Campusano. BTW the crowd was cheering for Drabek and booed when Campusano broke it up, with two outs in the 9th on a 1-2 pitch. Ironically Terry Mulholland threw a no-hitter for the Phils 12 days later at the Vet.

Only got the opportunity to go there once, in '96 for a Phillies game that we weren't even supposed to go to...

Three of us flew in from Italy to go to the Eagles/Cowboys MNF game (and drink for 5 days)... Then we all ran out of money and watched the game in a sports bar....
