This book is a look behind the scenes at the nameless, almost faceless people at Citizens Bank Park, the South Philadelphia ball field of the Philadelphia Phillies, without whom the game couldn’t be played. It’s a story of their life’s work and, in most cases, their passion. Authors Vince Carocci and Norm Mawby introduce readers to a wide assortment of individuals that work at Citizens Bank Park, from the director of ballpark operations to groundskeepers, greeters, landscape manager, security guards, ticket sellers, videographers, hostesses and hosts, vending managers and, of course the “peanut lady” and the “beer man.” They allow their subjects, all of whom are ardent Phillies fans, to speak for themselves about their love of both the game and the team. The first-person narratives are engaging, entertaining, and eye-opening.
