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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTodd Zolecki\u003c\/b\u003e writes for MLB.com and is formerly a writer for\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethe \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e, with a focus on Phillies coverage with both. \u003cb\u003eScott Franzke\u003c\/b\u003e is a play-by-play broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies.
