Connie Mack Stadium /Shibe Park Version 1.0 by PaulW and Hyman Credits: First of all thanks to Hyman (once again) for his great OEdit work and work with the collision detection data. Balls will hit off wall and scoreboard properly. Also nice work on the three dimensional light towers in right. Artwork by PaulW. If you manage to hit the Longines clock on top of the scoreboard (feel free to tell me if you do!) the ball will pass through. The ground rules at Connie Mack had any ball hitting the clock ruled as a homerun. Circa 1960 rendering of Connie Mack Stadium Philadelphia. This model is intended to be sort of a hybrid between Connie Mack and old Shibe Park (used most of the colors from old Shibe). Can be used fairly realistically from any era between 1934 and 1968.

Theme Music from "When it was a Game" How to Install: Simply copy this file into your ..MVP/data/audio/CD/music directory.

Make sure to listen to the whole thing once. Its about 2:30 in length. The ending is the first poem from the movie.

Graphic makeover of original Forbes Field provided by EA Sports. Most of the work was done in re-working of the textures and some of the buildings. My favorites - the old Carnegie buildings behind left field and that beautiful ivy covered Forbes Field wall. Installing: Simply copy forbday.big into your MVP stadiums directory.

1950 Shibe Park Philadelphia By PaulW 1950 era rendering of Shibe Park Philadelphia. Most of the work on this was in getting accurate textures and attempting to get the industrial North Philadelphia feel in the background. Notice the absence of signs. It was a policy of Connie Mack to have no advertising in his ballpark. The only major inaccuracy in this model is the lack of height in the right field wall - Connie Macks "spite wall". To install simply copy the file shibday.big into your MVP/data ballparks directory. If you are already using Ebbets Field, which uses the Shibe model, there are various ways to have both Ebbets and Shibe available. I use AA Stadium One for Ebbets Field. This involves extracting the Shibe Park data out of datafile.txt and repacking it into the aa01nite.txt section of the data file. I think MVP Studio can also do this for you.
