JUST THE FACTS

I found this book thoroughly enjoyable and really felt like I was part of the team and their quest for the National League pennant. While the book doesn't break any ground it does feed the baseball fanatic with statistics......one of my favorite things about the game.

I FELT I WAS THERE!!!!

Fire & Spirit really captured the feeling of the Phillies pennant chase in 1950. I really liked the way the writer takes the reader from the inception of the team to the building of the franchise that thrilled the city of Philadelphia. I found myself transported into Shibe Park as I read the goings on throughout the season. And I felt the anxiety Phillies fans must have felt when they watched their lead dissipate near the end of the season. LONG LIVE THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.
