Opened in 1909, Shibe Park was the very definition of a modern baseball palace - as aesthetically stunning as it was structurally advanced. Shibe and partner Connie Mack shrewdly picked the park's site at 21st Street and Lehigh Avenue. Some thirty blocks above City Hall, the area was just beginning to be developed. By the first decade of the twentieth century, it already boasted trolley and rail lines that connected it to Center City and the Main Line.
