It was fun reading some of the players "game of their lives" or more like "their most memorable/one they enjoyed the most". The backstories on some of the players and the lead-up to the games in question were a nice touch, especially for the eras before I was born. Sadly a lot of the players in this collection (as well as the two Phanatics and Chris Wheeler) are kind of inconsequential players/people in the grand scheme of things (sadly no Ashburn, or Bowa or Rose or Maddux or later years like Kruk, Dalton, Eisenreich, Utley, Howard, Rollins, etc), but published in 2008 (originally and then republished in 2013) some of that is understandable, and seeing as how this is a smaller print run style book, also understandable that some of the "big names" of Phillies history weren't around for this.

There was also a few factual and typographical errors in this as well.

It was a nice touch to end on Tug McGraw.… (mais)
