You are listening to the dial up an american history podcast each week I read a story from american history too. Oh by the way, I'm dave anthony to my friend gareth reynolds. Thank you for calling me a friend who has idea what the topic is about because he's a box all week long and I only Them out to hear these story, what are these about? Back. Did your back my fish heads first,

I would hate to be the one to say this is clearly not gary garrett dave, okay, someone or something is tickling, and this is not going to become a particularly quiet. Uptown, all our way of life, a bunch of religious virgins, go to mingle and do what re done for the ok, any other things. Don't tell people my name's gareth ass seventeen ninety two eighteen hundred hundred eighteen hundred eighteen, hungary, I been working since seven, now tat. I ve been in the box all day waving, philip, enjoy the. What renowned city historian digby bottle,

called normal silver decade. The federal government operated among the cobblestones and Oh houses along the delaware river, which was the busiest port of entry in north america. Yeah shit was it happened in for the filter, ok, but when the nations capital was moved to a swamp located between Virginia had made than that philadelphia. Mrs first opportunity be the centre of power and the nation, etc. Of philadelphia way of looking at it too that she moved it. swap swam better than you three day, It's later, I am going to tie a lot of a lot of philadelphia. People are going to be mad at this podcast, okay, but I think the I think most philadelphia people are mad at everything yeah. It seems that way. Three decades later, it missed a second chance. President Andrew Jackson, closed the powerful us which was located in philadelphia shortly thereafter. The centre of

the young nations high finance started. My sitting too and took up personal residence in new york city, so that was it. Indeed for generations felt ass. If he was not considered a destination american journalist, an editor h, l men can called philadelphia a quote. Well, let cemetery a break. because for well over a century, the city was run by secular political bosses who never thought outside their appropriate or financial interests. Many city residents were happy to live in the quiet caution of the city's quaker heritage, fellow feeling, forget it by the equality of quicker philosophy, lowers finances and industrialists in philadelphia, amass personal wealth and comfort, but shall fame and power, while the kelly's in

sin gave the nation a president and to you, as senators filled up here, has never sent any one to the white house. I could tell the people are like bizarre, and until recently this is the city had even produced a governor of pennsylvania for a hundred years lack Washing its pro power and new york's Paul fell off. He was left out when the federal government bill I ninety five running north and south, to connect floored in Boston. Philadelphia was a detour. In fact, a russian journalist visiting the philippine choir or a board years ago, marvelled at the fact there was no highway linking philadelphia to new york directly. There still is not fair for totally fair. I remember thinking that myself,

This subtle feeling of an inferiority seemed seem to become a self fulfilling prophecy, while new york built skyscrapers filled it his planners refused for decades to allow building taller than the cap on Billy pens had a top city hall boy that has a dump We would like the idea that you, like you care about Anything taller is already a bad policy, though you like don't got bigger than the had. Not the clock tower, don't go higher than the clock tower they collect. Our is sick, though while new york had babe ruth and the mc and all those world series titles what had philly and David philly of philadelphia, the phillies gateway, the pennant. No sports franchise in north America had lost more games during the twentieth century than the phillies of man, the nfl franchise. The eagles have this. I got gotta,

it's bloody, fulfilling yeah he's just picturing burns. Listening to this right now, just playing like god, sort of my french, the nfl franchise, the eagles have never won a super bowl yeah, but Donovan Mcnabb barf during one I think, there'd be a tee in the seventy. Sixers have won three championships since they moved to the city in eighteen, sixty three, the last one they won, was in nineteen. Eighty, three, the nhl team, the flyers, the city's most successful franchise, earned the next nicknamed the broad street bullies in the seventies due to their use of bedding. The rules, intimidation and fighting to win the terrible behaviour of the philadelphia fans, really one could say, began in nineteen, forty, nine from all accounts of ever take me there and august twenty first nineteen, forty nine, the philippine fillies, were playing a double hatted.

Against the new york giants, the double hunters to gains put on the same day the phillies be the giants for nothing in the first game at shy park. The second aim is gone. Ok until the ninth ending near grove three to two, when a giants player had to fly ball to centre field and the philly player seem to make a shoestring catch, but the empire ruled that a hit the scored another run of play feel there would later say, was an obvious catch. The phillies we're furious arguments broke out on the field when players and umpires. Meanwhile, in the stands, the fans were completely losing it. I shit you should add that historically, a doubleheader means that there has been a shit load of drinking six out near about six hours into louder and is now our

maybe more because you have to think about how the gaming between time, so you like seven or eight hours into just a it just a fuckin it just a drink fast, Suddenly a sort of all came flying out of right field. I mean all of that of the right field. Stand under the field, then from the left field stand arose like holy shit. Did you see that and they may started wing and bottles within seconds? The fear is being bombarded by glass bottles from everywhere. The crowd of nineteen thousand went back shit, bottles, vegetables and cans were taught us. That Stavros, is the best part phrases like yours. here the hit him with the broccoli, but I realise, as writing this up that it's because they brought all their food to the game. Those like a guy would just bring like zucchini and he was going to eat it. Well, here's pro

What are you so, though, is that they probably were like throw the food you want. Eat the least which an average america is anything that grew on ensuring correct so cleverly there was great The players ran for cover the dugouts, the broad lasted for fifteen minutes. The public address announcer came on to warn fans of the attack did not sought than the next game would also be forfeited by the phillies he was drawn up by posing cackle yeah there's no way they would give a fuck. Now at this point, that of care is very short term thinking. When you throw a glass on the field. Fancy, not stopping stop tossing anything. They can get their hands on. Finally, a cheer up did when an overripe tomato hit chief on power, our bartlett on the head that had

delicious seconds later, a bottle with past the neck of empire, Lee Bela fanned what happened. The tomatoes firelock signalled a forfeit and the empires ran off the field. After the incident state, passed a law forbidding fans from bringing soda and beer bottles into stadiums. So what would the so? What was it before that it was just? I think I think, you'll bring where we wanted in sections and I think it is It is like when you go well game now it is nuts to think that there was a time when you literally could just walk in with whatever the fuck you want. It fucking insane yeah, because now that'd be a lot of dead people, a lot of depth yeah, So, yes, so that that change that now in nineteen sixty two fillies brought their first black player to the team of her. He was

He was very good as a rookie. He patted three eighteen with twenty nine runs. Ninety barbie eyes, having triples a hunt twenty five rounds. I just have a bad feeling. Why why I just feel- and I'm probably off base year, part of the primer, but I just feel like the philly fans aren't going bracelets guy. Well, I think it's not gonna be based on his staff. That's, but the color of his career move on now kid he led the majors and triples. and was the runaway winter for rookie year? it's three seasons. He was elected to the austerity. What's to not like again, I think I'm gonna go to re He also struck out a lot made a lot of air, so the fans began booing him right away in his second season. Things turn south fast, oh boy, fills varied and long time player, frank, thomas taunted, Alan. By calling him boy,

craig to Alan as muhammad clay. That's teammate. Things boiled over out- is that it is that it take on cash. This claim mohammed Ali with nineteen sixty. So no, so he just call them hammered clay. Yeah I don't think anything caches clays, rather nineteen things now really not things boiled rapid, thomas called out a nigger s, so be at batting practice before a game. Now An interesting time when you can drop the inward and not say son, of a bitch backwards now, rightfully so, whenever thomas and the two I thought Alan with his fists and thomas with a bat oof thomas was quickly traded after the fight, okay and the fans blamed Allen as a departure of their favorite veteran Jesus Christ. Alan describes

the fans reaction. The next day I stuck my head out of the dugout and I'd never heard such booing people yelled nigger, and go back to south street with the monkeys. Cod fans began, throwing batteries pennies fruit and garbage at him from the stands. This is nineteen sixty yeah for the rest of his career in philadelphia. He was forced to wear a batting helmet in the field to protect himself from the constant projectiles, what the fuck I'm bad, reese oh yeah, I guess philadelphia's renowned for throwing bad. I know they throw batteries, but I'd care to understand how it effects. How did that split like you were just like? Well, what are you going to deal with them the guy, but throw but the black coma. Hey this one's out of Jews.

Come on. What's bringing the game where batteries go to take them to the ballgame and throw them at that guy who got rid of our favorite legend? Eventually Allen broke. He started coming late to games and practices. He started missing flights and showing up drunk out of his mind Jesus, but that's not surprising, Well, you think about Jackie Robinson. He really argument Did I get there. I beg you made most of the trips and I sixty nine held out for twenty six games and and only when it was promised a trade out of philadelphia. He said I can play anywhere. First third left field anywhere, but philadelphia He was finally traded and ended up being the envy p of Lee. You are playing for chicago

There I'd amend their shirts, you are done. They are pretty much gradual agents yeah. The man you threw batteries at is the most important player is the the best player on December fifteenth nineteen sixty eight, the philadelphia eagles, were playing the minnesota vikings at franklin field. The eagles were a terrible football team. Having only won two games all season even worse. They had lost eleven straight than one to meaningless games with which took them out of the number one job spot, which would go for the highly coveted adjacent too.

come on guys. We don't quit on this. Could on the season now says that good on the seas but on the seas of adding to the anger level at the game was the whether it had been snowing since the day before and the game temperature was in the low twenties, with wind gus up to thirty miles an hour. But still fifty four thousand people shut up to watch their miserable team play and miserable, whether at half time the fans were to be treated to a christmas pageant. Oh god, while the eagle cheerleaders, who were dressed up as l. Robbed on the field, accompanied by a fifty peace brass band. Playing christmas tunes Santa was to make his appearance riding around a field day. each person to less than a couple phase one. I know this goes bad. Why? Just because it being brought up- and maybe I have a hint of a memory of this but

oh, it's just the idea like that has to be the last time the city tried something sweet at a sport like because it set up to be so sweet its. of the cheerleaders, or else said, there's gotta come, but you Now that you're dealing with a bunch of people whose are fucking freezing who are drunk as and are not happy. No, sir,. happy. Santos gonna become the new outfielder, while they cheerleaders rampant feel they are accompanied by fifty peace. Brass band playing christmas tunes Santa was to make his entrance writing I feel about a huge christmas float featuring an ornate sleigh drag by eight life. Sized fiberglass reindeer now sounds good. Well, yes, but even before it had begun, the half time show went pear shaped

were? The float quickly got stuck in the mud, meaning santa had to abandon his sleigh and walk around the stadium on foot, awkward and work. Sent. There was nowhere to be found, god having been prevented from making it to the stadium. Due to the weather or as rumour had it, because he got into drunk Jesus Christ in a panic. The eagles entertainment directory tear director bill. Milan approached a fan sitting in the stands. Twenty years, frank alive, oh to fill in santa claus, this I mean this is not good a level just happened, on a red quarter, I santa suit and a fig beard to the game.

He was given a large sack and told to weave down the field between two columns of eagle. Let's waving to the crowd, as the brass band played here. Come santa claus alive, oh said quote: that's when the booming started. At first. I was scared because it was so loud, but then I figured hey. It was just good natured, teasing of philadelphia fan. I knew what was what now you didn't. when a little finished his rundown santa claus lane he got into range. He got in Oh, he got into fan range a film in the upper deck through the floor. snowball, oh shit. I said to him south end zone. One turned into ten snowballs into a hundred snow Jesus quote

I hit the end and the snowball started. I was waving my finger at the crowd, saying you're, not getting any thing for christmas eleven year on the naughty, let out my size law. Remember being hit by several dozen snow bots. the eagles public relations director. This time claiming the bad behaviour was prompted by santa's, pathetic physical appearance, recalled quote: he was the worst looking santa I'd ever see, that is not so bad suit. Scraggly beard, I'm not sure whether he was drunk but he appeared to be, but that's the that that's not why there is no way that the philadelphia fans grown ups warlike eat us pass the competency level. What standards should look like they were like when they ask

standards? There really get man trying to be nice. Let's hurt him, hurt the man be a matter the nice man when I had to do this game, in philly once where I had the like: a basically be a rough and a fake boxing thing. I'd never been. called faggot fast, like it was ended when it again it wasn't for anything other than just being. I haven't said a word until they were just show lacking media, her good people first, Eleven may deliver maintains that he was a terrific santa, that is, it was actually of quite good quality that he wasn't drunk and that a lot of people who claim otherwise weren't even there, the entire incident might have been forgotten. if late sunday night, the local news had not been followed by abc weaken report

national new show featuring howard, Kosovo, with a weekly package of Anna highlights a boy when the whip round got two franklin field, cosette showed no foot, Instead, he air the pelting of santa, accompanied by his verbiage, shaming the philadelphia they fall down. You ballet this x rays, animals, the city of philip a bit better and standing much open and nineteen seventy one. It was a steady imperfectly, fitting the city from the big The vet was viewed as an unflattering cookie cutter stadium, a multi purpose, concrete ball, devoid of any architectural charm like a toilet motion, really seventies were at a time when the municipal policies of fiscal restraint and urban renewal, often resulting in a copper Eyes which served neither purpose and that's what happened with the vet fake.

That is just the meat you want to throw to the vultures. The turf at the stadium was considered terrible at best. Quarterback ron do right, so it wasn't grass, now quarterback ron wrong your ascii, worse Jaworski, Jaworski, jaws acca once said quote the turf the vat is that concrete with a green bed. Sheep hurry it terrible better. Instead, I have had other attributes the rats running through the teams. Wait room the deafening acoustics, the dank cramped, locker room lou, key pipes a dank arena where a mouse chasing cat once fell through the ceiling onto the desk of an assistant coach. I mean what the fuck, A mouse chasing cat fell on the desk, for you. Fucking kidding me

down, is up in this place. My suitcase cats mouse chasing cat. It is the most recent I was chasing, the cat is chasing the mouse. Oh, are you sure yeah it's a master's and cat, so the cat is running after the mouse, a mouse chase? Oh sorry, yeah you're, crazy. To think it could go both ways on what a tie, the way it was with the way it was written. I could have written it because when what I'm picture of category one of those little rats from the princess bride rang the weird for not one of those landing on the desk There is unreliable heat, slow, elevators, a peep hall where the visiting players looked into the dressing room of the eagles cheerleaders. Ok It all devils advocate this one. Why did the home team not have this pinhole as they probably just weren't? Next to the to the cheerleaders luck, or I mean, if look if yeah

because you could put that in their as a distraction, but still an odour that former fillies third basement MIKE schmidt once described as cats, think that even the grail no kind of what that means. It maybe all the straight cats living in the stadium that aid the rats. This is not a professional stadium and because they had to ruin problem that they decided to bring in cats who is solving problems, heard the fucking city of philadelphia sanity, then show up. You pick a ways: the dude from the stands at corduroy, you gotta rap problem, just fill the stadium with cas. They may well just change every sporty like the philadelphia rats when John grew became the eagles offensive coordinator nineteen, if ninety five, he wondered, allowed why there are so many cats he recently recalled quote. I was too.

The cats were there to get rid of the rats. Suddenly I loved the cats, but then you're going to be I mean honestly like then like, but now we need dog like how fucking, like australia is, they would rather different things to get rid of ever. They ask their over run by itself by the end of the day. Well, we should approach is guarded exterminator crown jewel of the monstrosity was the seven hundred level and its horrific occupants. The semi seven level lies at the very top of the stadium and was compromised of the worst and therefore the cheapest seats in the stadium. The men and women were also notoriously the most wild, crazy and worse fans in the nfl. Jerry longman described the seven hundred level as having reputation for quote hostile taunting, fighting public irritation and general strangeness. tendrils general strangeness is a worry, the name,

the seven hundred level has been an inspiration for websites relating to philadelphia sports, as well as weekly letters to the editor section in the sunday sports pages of the philadelphia inquire. though they had an area that was so horrific and yet they embraced it and that's what they call the letters to the to the sports pages, that, but that is that kind of away away like a little bit like the epitome of that city as they embrace the like, and that happens a lot of times was, That's where you embrace, like the people were like yours, if and you're like no other, the shittiest fan correct. Getting this at all your behavior, sir. in the early nineteen hundreds of fan named Jeanette miller, sat in section, seven thirty removed her shoes. Ok, so, let's just let's just isolate that part. Okay, so woman came to a game removed

is for game, more we're, not sure sure football game or or isolated in the nineteen hundreds in nineteen eighties, nineteen. Eighty sorry, the right advantage would make more sense, at eighty. She came and sat down in the seat and took her shoes off at the stadium yup, like a fucking, crazy person. Sure. and soon soon notice that the guy in front of her was sucking her left big toe. Now, that is a very huge leap of bull who she had friends, a few section over a few seconds over who attended games with a keg strategically hidden beneath it wheelchair this is next level the journeys and went to the evils, game search, the wheelchair. Well, I mean exactly

lift up the boy is bringing a gurney like a fucking went far underneath my grammars very sick knapsack, see fucking. I can't really care was tat in a wheelchair in the eighties holy shit gotta makes me miss the eighties god. A makeshift municipal court, known as eagles court, was set up in the basement of the state. In november nineteen, eighty seven after gaming in san francisco, in which about sixty fights broke out. A season ticket holder, broken ankle, trying to rescue a friend and a flare gun was fired into seats so they had to open own judicial armor estate yeah and we may have a people fired, flares people the first man to be taken, for the judge.

Was a man who opposite energy, Juliet a judge in the basement who- and they had a makeshift- was it just like judge didn't show up, so they found a guy who was dressed like a judge in l dans a real judge. They had a real judge. Okay, they had an actual judge who went down to the end, sat there and did it whose wife was like bullshit. If you want to see another woman go ahead, he's like no. I swear to god on sundays, I'm a judge in the bottom of the stadium. Okay, fact fuck, you fraying fuck yourself go fuck yourself, reagan make the first fan to be taken before the judge. man who obviously was intoxicated and he proceeded to throw up all of the judges. Makeshift bench plea guy ever. My only dream is that that was in response to how do you play Ruby quote guys and bright green day, glow, robes and silver hair. That's not the typical courtroom you're used to

the city said municipal judge, seem recipe mccaffrey, who presided over egos court eagles court, the penalties for crime, forced offenders to give up season tickets pay for our fines and sit in jail for the rest of it and I mean honestly, could you be dealing with more adult toddlers? This is adult time out. I love it. That's exactly what it is yeah, it's adult time they took where the toys. I will give you the fourth core. Now you kids in the fourth quarter, because you stand a man, you, like the woman's, tell it like that. I wanted there. She took off her shoe me. What am I supposed to do letter just take office without eating it stop edible michael stray hand said quote: it's the only place where the bus pulls up outside the stadium before the game, and you

Yet the grandfather, the grandmother, the grants, kids and the kids and everybody's flippin you off some almost nice unaware, eagle safety bright Doc and says will never forget the Monday night game when a bottle rocket sorted out of the stance, how that is at like its customs stuff that you would never think you would want to do, let alone do What would you ever want to do that bring a bottle rocket january six? Nineteen. Seventy two. hockey the saint louis blues, replaying the fear of your flyers. This was during the aid when the philadelphia image a franchise renault was not for aggression and fighting after the second platt period. The players headed into the locker room, saint louis blues, coach out a boar. our bore a r b o. You are our bore whereby the canadian went overdrive

John actually to complain about a call, as the two spoke of fires fan poor dear pork, who said it again. As the two spoke, a flyers fan poured beer down our borders back. When was this nineteen? Seventy two soon other fats followed by throwing trash and then taking swings at our burn, like its incensed at the treatment coach was getting. several blues players took off in the direction of the rapid start to swing their sticks and climbed into the stands to fight the fans, not a good idea. The film fear. Cops at the arena quickly got involved in a good way. The notorious philadelphia police were all too happy to use. Their night sticks on the blues, Jesus beating them back into their locker room, so who's the

so they do or do we rude forts. is our europe, so they didn't stop the fans. No babies attack the players of the they created and renewed acts of attacker. They were now to go to the locker robe of philly news and who rushed over to the scene ass, the nearby cop. What was going on quote it's the saint louis blues, against the cops and winning I mean you know what that is a city that deserves time out. Blues coach, our bore received a gash needing ten stitches and blues player. John, our bore needed forty stitches They were also among the four blues who were arrested following the game ballast five hundred and they weren't released from the police station until their barrel was played at was paid at five in the morning by the flyers owner wow to the flyers on her bail them out. I like that.

They have the right. Then I take lassie guy ass, the other. the next month when they came to visit the flyers again, but all charges were dropped after that, we fomented malay the blues, similarly inspired out in the third period and scored three announce an answer, almost two and three to two after the game bliss I was furious, saying that was the worst case of police brutality. I've ever seen or heard about. Isn't it fitting that the blues came in one like death yeah. I got it off in the day It is therefore is it I get distracted and then their team loses, and then there like, why? Why are we were awarded? Remarkably, the wind would be the blues. Last one unfilled. of yet until the nineteen eighty is, the flies would go. Thirty one when three against the blues over the next sixteen season is as spectrum finally again in november of nineteen. Eighty eight and nine geneva and the eagles and cowboys had a heated rivalry

rumours swirled that the eagles had taken out bounties on certain players. The teams were both playing for a play off spot, or maybe it was the cowboys that had taken up the teams about playing for a plan of spot. The commission of the league brought a ton of anna fell security to the game. They stood outside eagles owner norm, brahmins box, where the commissioner watched they guarded the cowboys locker room and the tunnels leading to it, but none of it matter. Whoa because of the snow, everything. Ok, a snow fall earlier that weak hadn't been entirely cleared from the stadium. So, That's no said chris guardian and eagles player. I knew that wasn't a good sign sure enough boy. The snowballs began raining down on the field The story barrage became so intense in the second half that the eagles cheerleaders had to leave.

the field for their own safety. For this, like the idea that it debt like because there, the cheerleaders or their teachers how to make the members like a little more docile and still there, like We're going to get hurt, they're hurting, as a large group of Dallas fans, were evacuated from field level seats, evacuate the vacuum rated strong like like what did even happening katrine strong term most of the snowballs were directed at the dallas coaches and players. Although one identified flying object struck an official back, judge and jury in the head and knocked him down in the first half A number of dallas players said: let's leave the field, let's get outta here said larry ones, Lee a former f b. I agent who coordinate security on the cowboys bench each week. I never saw anything like it

and I'm. In the f b I work for the federal bureau. The fans work just throwing snowballs a lot of them were ice balls. I was going to say some of them had rocks inside. I was also going to assume that there might be some battery snow. There were more like ice grenades. We were very, Ok, that someone wasn't seriously hurt the snowballs came down. the second half splatter around the das players feet and whizzing pass their ears during one time out the cowboys offence, dodge because in the end zone, while the public address system played winter wonderland. Who is the worst, I think the present playing? That really is the worst. What he's one of the eating n o enter Werner langen, his blade again, the lander wonderland several eagles players tried to call off the bar.

Being waving their arms toward the sands as if to say, please calm down, but had little effect you get, but that's exactly. What they don't understand is that their there's no voice is. No there's no reason at all. It's just like when the cops decided to beat up the blues players. Yeah, there's! No! There's no think you know there's just there's: let's do this: let's go the snowballs kept coming from both the lower and upper decks Boys head coach, Jimmy Johnson was escorted arm off the field by to philadelphia police officers. It proved to be a good idea, as the officers use their arms to shield the coach on his dash to the tunnel after the game. What but he was struck in the face by a snowball and shaken up, but he was reported. After some minor treatment by trainers. She said one player must have

Everything on us beer soda eyes, you name it who started, throwing snowballs isn't known, but one man didn't the betting another fan, twenty dollars that he couldn't hit the field with a snowball. The man who made that bet was ed, ran down at the time and ex district attorney as As the word also admitted, throwing snowballs went on to become the mayor of philadelphia and then the governor of the state of pennsylvania. The probably help get him elected the yes, yes the ninety. Ninety seven baseball draft, the philadelphia fillies drafted a player named gaiety, drew with the second pick juice had worn any team drafting him. The drew would not take less than ten million dollars as assigning bonus, but the phillies had no point plan

They lost their player really the next year he signed with the ST louis cardinals, which meant he would be coming to play in philadelphia. Oh Jesus, Philly fans welcomed drew back by throwing a of the batteries at him d batteries, the square mother, fucking, painful, mother, fuck. Why the fuck do you exist battery? What the fuck happened? every other battery that all this I know we're gonna, like matter, is through a d yeah, no, definitely the best, the throw why why they only exists or the game was delayed for roughly ten it's after debris, landed near, drew in centre field, drew, was pulled off the field by his mouth
