* Baker Bowl, Broad and Huntingdon streets: It opened in 1887 as the home of the Phillies. The ballpark closed in 1938 and was demolished in 1950.
A two-story, white-painted brick building built by UPS on the site of the old National League ballpark now houses the transportation-maintenance office for the School District of Philadelphia.
A car wash sits at one end of the rectangular property, and the dilapidated Botany 500 building still stands up the block near Lehigh Avenue as it has since 1910, just outside where the leftfield fence stood.
* Connie Mack Stadium (a/k/a Shibe Park), 21st Street and Lehigh Avenue: America's first steel, fireproof ballpark opened in 1909 and was demolished in 1976, leaving behind a dumping ground full of weeds and debris.
What stands today is a sprawling, bright-red-brick church complex serving as a rose among a community of thorns in a neighborhood filled with blighted houses and decrepit factories.
The Deliverance Evangelistic Church moved there from Broad Street and Wyoming Avenue in search of more space at the request of its founder, the Rev. Benjamin Smith. Construction was completed in August 1992.
"We used to ride our bikes around Shibe Park, and they used to chase us out!" said Barry Neil, 62, of Olney. "It was great because it was right in the center of the city. That church that sits there now is real nice, yeah."
Shibe Park was built for Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, which played in the city from 1901 until the franchise moved to Kansas City in 1954. The Phillies shared the stadium with the A's from 1938 until the A's moved, then purchased the stadium and played there until 1970.
* Philadelphia Arena, Market Street between 45th and 46th: The building fell out of popular use in the 1970s, due to the Spectrum's arrival in 1967.
