Remembering the A's

From 1978 through the final year of the Vet, 2003, members of the A’s were also selected yearly. The A’s were a member of the American League in Philadelphia from 1901 through the 1954 season when the franchise was moved to Kansas City.

A total of 25 former A’s were part of the Philadelphia Baseball Hall of Fame, starting with Connie Mack, their longtime manager/owner who was inducted posthumously in 1978. A large statue of Connie Mack once stood at Connie Mack Stadium on the south side of Lehigh Avenue. During the 1971 inaugural season at Veterans Stadium, the Phillies relocated the statue to the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. The Phillies moved it again during the final construction stages of Citizens Bank Park in March of 2004.

Mack’s statue is located on the west side of Citizens Bank Way. Names of the 25 A’s players who were honored at the Vet’s Hall of Fame display have been added to Mack’s statue so that fans will forever remember the A’s.
