To Every Thing a Season : : Shibe Park and Urban Philadelphia, 1909-1976 / / Bruce Kuklick.
Shibe Park was demolished in 1976, and today its site is surrounded by the devastation of North Philadelphia. Kuklick, however, vividly evokes the feelings people had about the home of the Philadelphia Athletics and later the Phillies.
