Veterans Stadium: Field Of Memories (Hardback)

"As Rich Westcott notes, Veterans Stadium's demise was met with cheers in some quarters, and by nostalgic tears in others. Westcott covers virtually every aspect of the stadium's 33 years-from its conception, and construction, interviews with more than 125 people for whom the Vet was a prominent part of their professional and personal lives, and the two primary tenants of the stadium, Phillies baseball and Eagles football. Veterans Stadium is a special piece of historic nostalgia and it will be of significant interest to the sports-book reading public."-Bob Bloss, author of Rookies of the Year
"Terrific... well researched... crammed with memories, some gaudy, some goofy, some grim."-The Philadelphia Daily News
"[T]his book belongs on the great books list.... even if it doesn't make the great books list, it belong on the must read list for every Philadelphia sports fan."-Philadelphia Public Record
"Rich Westcott has found the time to write another outstanding book, his seventeenth in a very prolific writing career... His book Veterans Stadium is a loving tribute to the home of some of Philadelphia's greatest sporting and cultural events, and the one book that will help Philadelphians remember its thirty year history."-Town Talk
