Do you like Hershey history? Do you like the Eagles? Check out “Tommy and Me!”Did you know the Philadelphia Eagles held their training camp in Hershey from 1957-1964? As a child, sports media icon Ray Didinger carried star receiver Tommy McDonald's helmet to and from the practice field. Didinger later wrote an autobiographic play "Tommy and Me" that recounts this seminal time in his life as he helps his life-long hero, Tommy McDonald, get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. See "Tommy and Me" at Hershey Theatre August 18 - 20. Purchase your tickets to "Tommy and Me" here: https://bit.ly/3QjM5TP ... See MoreSee Less
