Synopsis

The city of Utica, New York has a rich history in professional baseball, and here is the story of the 1947 Utica Blue Sox, captured and condensed for the first time. More than just an ugly ballpark in a beautiful baseball town, the Utica Blue Sox laid the foundation for the team that would go on to become the 1950 National League champion, Philadelphia Phillies.

Read about stars like Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn who came to Utica as a catcher but was quickly moved to center field to utilize his speed. Stan Lopata, Granny Hamner, and other stars all took the field for both Utica and Philadelphia during the late 1940s.

This work is a detailed account of the players and personalities that captivated Utica, a slice of life that takes the reader back to a nearly forgotten time, viewed through a lens of reverence, respect, and a genuine love of the game.
