A few months ago, I released a trailer for an upcoming documentary on the legacy of Connie Mack Stadium.
This is not that.
Instead, this is an extra about some of the remaining physical artifacts of the stadium that once stood on the corner of 21st and Lehigh.
ICYMI: Our very own @BenHSilver caught up with Tague Davis, the standout first baseman for @LouisvilleBSB, and son of Ben.
An incredible story for an incredible athlete.

Tague Davis is a special player, but he spent years at Malvern Prep reminded that he lived in his father Ben Davis’ shadow.
Now he’s carving his own path as the best college slugger in the country, carrying the torch of Malvern baseball along the way:

Every curveball Nola is throwing has been up in the zone.
I know everyone’s complained about his velo being lower, but is he can’t command the breaking stuff there’s no hope when Nola pitches.
Schwarber career in Plate Appearances when he does NOT homer:
.168 BA
.518 OPS
Now add:
Horrifying Defense / No Defense (DH)
In other words, Schwarber - when he doesn't HR - is the worst player in MLB history.
Let's say he gets to 500 HR.
500 bombs is obviously Huge.
Is it enough to make Schwarber HOF worthy, given his MASSIVE deficiencies in EVERY other part of the game?
The answer, emphatically is NO.
If you're looking for a big relief call-up a la Kerkering or Dominguez this is probably your guy.
McFarlane was drafted in the 4th round in 2022 and has been lights out this year for the Fightins. He's got a nice slider and an electric fastball that he can dial up to 101mph.
Alex McFarlane has allowed 1️⃣ earned run through his first 13 appearances.
The @Phillies No. 17 prospect turned his fastball up to 99mph yesterday. ⛽️
