The ultimate reference book for any "Phillie phanatic," this book
provides a behind-the-scenes peek into the private world of the players,
managers, broadcasters, and executives, taking readers into the
clubhouse and onto the field. Author Robert Gordon takes fans inside the
1993 Philadelphia Phillies' run to the World Series, when first baseman
John Kruk once told a fan, "I ain't an athlete, lady, I'm a baseball
player;" back to 1980, when Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Larry Bowa
delivered the team's first World Series title; and to 2008, when a new
generation experienced the ecstasy of a World Series win. Written for
every fan who follows the Phillies, this unique book captures the
memories and great stories from more than a century of the team's
history.
