PHOTOS: Phillies vs. Orioles

This was my first trip to Citizens Bank Park, and I must say its one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to. Check out some of the photos! More can be found on Facebook.

Connie Mack

Suite #65 is where I got to watch the game. Probably the best box I’ve ever watched a game from. Someday I want to see the name “Sports Card Info” on a box.

Upstairs they have a Phillies Hall of Fame exhibit: Schmidt, Roberts, Ashburn, Carlton

Dick Perez has a bunch of paintings hanging upstairs. This one is of Connie Mack.

Whats this? A free Joba Chamberlain jersey card?

If you live in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA area you are in for a real treat.  PNC Bank is doing a promotion where if you sign up for a free checking account with online banking you will receive a free set of 4 game used jersey cards.  These can only be obtained in person at your local PNC Bank branch.  The players in the set are: Shelley Duncan, Ian Kennedy, Phil Hughes, and Joba Chamberlain.  Each card in the set features a game worn jersey swatch of the player from one of their Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees uniforms.  Currently, none of these cards have surfaced anywhere online.  These will probably be hard to find after the promotion is over.  Too bad for me, I don’t live even close to a PNC Bank 😦  To read the full article from the Yankees, click here.
