Veterans Stadium 1st Phillies game....
SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Massachusetts, April 11, 1971 This 88 page newspaper has a small and somewhat discrete on e column headline in the sport's section (page 46): "Phils top Expos" with box scores.
Tells of the very first game played in Veterans Stadium by the Philadelphia Phillies. Unfortunate this was not reported with a larger headline but it is what it is, still a first report.
Other news of the day throughout. Minor spine wear, otherwise in nice condition.
