About this listen

In this episode of Ballpark Nation, we dive deep into the vibrant world of the Philadelphia Phillies and their home turf, Citizens Bank Park. But this isn’t just a standard ballpark tour—today, we’re weaving the rich tapestry of Philadelphia’s baseball culture with its pivotal historical role in American history.

We kick things off with an insider’s look at the Philadelphia Phillies, one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises. From their humble beginnings in 1883 to their modern-day successes, we explore the team's evolution, notable players, and memorable moments that have defined the Phillies' legacy along with a look at the AMAZING Citizen's Bank Ballpark.
