Sunday, June 26, 2011

97 Year old Ruth Mack Clark the daughter of legendary hall of famer Connie Mack is shown here in her apartment # 1128 in the Dock Wooods Retirement Community Center enjoying a collage of her recent visit to Citizen Bank Park to take in the Oakland Athletics vs Phillies series. Her memory flashed back at the site of the script word ATHLETICS and she commented: "I remember one day as a teenager I was sitting in my dads office at Shibe Park and a gentleman walked in, Girlie (dad always called me Girilie) I want you to meet a really nice old friend of mine, Babe Ruth this is my daughter Ruth. Dad introduced me to them all from time to time, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, my favorite, Jimmie Foxx and sooo many others.

Memories that will never fade away.
