Editorial Reviews

"My Philadelphia Athletics are alive and well in these pages. This book is a wonderful way to remember so many teams, players, and moments of this great sports city's past."
—Bobby Shantz, Philadelphia Athletics, 1952 AL MVP

"If you are the type of person who has trouble remembering dates—even, say, your wife's birthday—but you will never forget Jim Bunning's perfect game or the Flyers' win over the Soviets, then this is the book for you. I have only one question—why didn't anyone think of this sooner?"
—Ray Didinger, Philadelphia Hall of Fame sportswriter
