Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and
know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly
shine. This monumental book of the Philadelphia Phillies documents all
the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also
unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In
entertaining--and unsparing--fashion, this book sparkles with Phillies
highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the
famous and infamous. Such moments include the rapturous season of the
"Whiz Kids" and the magical 2008 run to the World Series, as well as the
lows of the historically inept Phillies of the 1930s and the equally
historic collapse of 1964. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps,
or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who
has been through it all.
