Why This Ticket Matters
On October 1, 1970, the Philadelphia Phillies hosted the Montreal Expos in the last major-league game played at Connie Mack Stadium.
Philadelphia won 2–1 before 31,822 fans. After the final out, spectators poured onto the field and removed seats, signs, turf, and other pieces of the aging park as souvenirs.
Originally opened as Shibe Park in 1909, the stadium had been home to both the Athletics and Phillies. This ticket documents the close of one of baseball’s great early ballparks.
