Our guest this week is Ron Stone, former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder from 1969-1972.  Ron started his career in the Baltimore Orioles organization, then was chosen by the Kansas City A's in the Rule 5 MLB draft in 1966.  He played 26 games for the A's and had good numbers, but the A's sent him back to the Orioles in July of that same year.  He was blessed to be traded to the Phillies in 1969 where he would get a chance to play.  Ron played in the last Phillies game at Connie Mack Stadium (1970), then opened up Veterans Stadium the next year on the new "artificial turf".  Take a trip with us Back When There Was Baseball to 1970, Ron Stone's best year of his MLB career.
