A caustic look at Philadelphia baseball decline after the Foxx sale and franchise turmoil. The piece laments the city’s baseball consciousness, notes Connie Mack’s long career and age, and contrasts two shabby ballparks while predicting mounting fan disillusion amid heavy tax burdens and gambling tensions. It also strings together assorted sports anecdotes and boxing and hockey tidbits from various figures.
