A Necessity For All Phiilies Fans

This was definitely the most complete and insightful report on Philadelphia Phillies history that I have ever read. A complete look at each season, the players, as wells as the management and administration of this fine organization. Wonderful pictures and a complete record section made this book one of the finest of its type.

Everything Phillies

The third edition of The Phillies Encyclopedia was released prior to the 2004 season. The original version was released in 1983, and a second edition was printed in 1993. Anything you've ever wanted to know about the Phillies is all here from their inaugural year of 1883 through the end of the Veterans Stadium era in 2003. A summary of every season is included, bios of over 200 players, every manager, owner, and club president. Rare facts, stories, you name it, it's here. If you are a diehard Phillies fan, this is for you. If you are a casual Phillies fan, and would like to learn more of the team's history, this is a great place to start. If you are a fan of baseball history in general, I highly recommend The Phillies Encyclopedia. I can't wait until the next edition comes out!
