Glory: The History of the Philadelphia Phillies
by David M. Jordan
Book Description: The Philadelphia Phillies have lost more games and
finished in last place more times than any other major league club. The
lost seasons have established their reputation as one of the most unsuccessful
teams ever to take the field—but even so the Phillies have had some unforgettable
players and notable triumphs throughout their history.
This work is a history of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball club from
its inception in 1883, when the Worcester (Massachusetts) Brown Stockings
moved to Philadelphia, through the 2000 season, 118 years later. It covers
the team’s finer seasons, moments, and players, including the great outfield
of the 1890s, which was perhaps one of the best in big league history,
Grover Cleveland Alexander and the 1915 pennant winner, Chuck Klein’s slugging
feats, Roberts, Ennis, and Ashburn, the era of Gene Mauch, Jim Bunning
and the heartbreak of the lost pennant in 1964, Mike Schmidt and Steve
Carlton and the 1980 World Series championship, and the surprise pennant
win in 1993. The book also covers the less than memorable times that are
all too familiar to the fans. The team’s relationship with the city of
Philadelphia is also discussed at length.

More
than Beards, Bellies and Biceps: The Story of the 1993 Phillies
by Robert Gordon, Tom Burgoyne
Book Description: Stubble scruffed up their chins. Tobacco wads ballooned
their cheeks. The '93 Phils had the look of a slow-pitch softball team
itching to kick some serious butt. They did kick butt, too, on and off
the field. "They lived the life of professional baseball players as fully
as it can be done," manager Jim Fregosi says. Though they weren't a photogenic
bunch, their mugs were everywhere, on Baseball Today, on the Letterman
Show, on Saturday Night Live (Chris Farley made a helluva John Kruk). Even
President Clinton quipped about them. A gang of baseball throwbacks, they
quickly seduced the hometown fans. By season's end, they won over the rest
of the country, too. America's Most Wanted Team became America's Team in
a heart-thumping fall classic against Toronto. The '93 Phils drew more
spectators than any other Philadelphia franchise in the city's century-and-a-quarter
of professional sports. Here's the story of a team that burned the candle
at both ends and lit up a city like a firecracker.

Tales
from the Phillies Dugout
by Rich Westcott
Book Description: In the 120 years of the Philadelphia Phillies, there
is one unavoidable description of the franchise. It was often last, but
seldom dull. This is a club, after all, that once had a lefthanded catcher
named Jack Clements. Bill Hulen was a shortstop. He was also lefthanded.
The Phillies had a pitcher who was aptly nicknamed "Boom Boom" Beck and
third baseman Mike Schmidt once tried to disguise himself by wearing a
wig onto the field. Many of the stories in Tales from the Phillies Dugout
head in the direction of being humorous. A few are more serious. Some are
even tragic. All in all, this is a book about a franchise that has overflowed
with colorful characters and the strange, the odd, and the outrageous events
with which they've been connected.
