Hello, Leigh- Outstanding Guide – I’m a big baseball aficionado. We’re very fortunate that here in my hometown, Citizens Bank Park, where our Phillies reside, is in just its fifth season of existence. One tip, for anyone who is planning to visit the Bank (as it’s locally known) – sellouts are not uncommon, especially on weekends or on promotional days. So call in advance for tix!
