Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA

At the Ballpark:  It's one of the best (if not the best) weekends of the season at the ballpark, as dozens of Phillies alumni will return for the annual Alumni Weekend celebrations.  Tonight, Jim Kaat will throw out the first pitch to Bob Boone.  On Saturday, the Phillies will honor two of their three Wall of Fame inductees - former general managers John Quinn and Ruly Carpenter.  On Sunday, the Phillies will salute the 1983 and 1993 National League Championship teams, with a pregame ceremony honoring all alumni on hand.  Larry Andersen will throw out a ceremonial first pitch to catcher Ozzie Virgil.
