Product Description
The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: Philadelphia Phillies presents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the Phillies. It also unmasks the bad, the regrettably awful, and the unflinchingly ugly. In an entertaining and unsparing fashion, author Todd Zolecki has written a book that sparkles with Phillies highlights, lowlights, wonderful and wacky memories, legends and goats, the famous, and the infamous. You'll relive the rapturous season of the Whiz Kids and the magical 2008 run to the World Series, but also the lows of the historically inept Phillies of the 1930s and the equally historic collapse of 1964. You'll celebrate the incredible majesty of a Mike Schmidt home run, but you'll lament the devastation of Mitch Williams' infamous gopher ball to Joe Carter

 Grand Slam for Todd Zolecki June 9, 2010

MUST READ for any Phillies fan. If you are a diehard fan -- you've got to get your hands on this book. It is absolutely one of the finest books about the Fightin' Phils that has ever been written. From the evaluation of former players at each position, to the Dream Team, the Dream Lineup, Managers, Trades -- this book has it all and is told in such way that the reader can't wait to read the next chapter. It is short, detailed oriented and thought provoking. Todd clearly did his homework. Even the forward by Scott Franzke was outstanding.

More then a great summary for new fans, but a reminder for long time fans. New stories from the players, some that happened before many of us were old enough to remember. Many sports writers don't get the Phillies fans' mentality, but Todd has taken a trip in our footsteps and become one of us. So much heartbreak over the years has evolved into so much joy. We cherish the team of '07, '08, '09 and '10 because we starved for so long, and now we really want to savor what winning tastes like.
