The Philadelphia Phillies, one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball, have maintained a strong, loyal fan base for over 125 years. Despite historic set backs, the franchise has proven resilient and evolved into a perennial contender with consistently large attendance figures. In fact, the Phillies claim 37 Hall of Famers, two World Series championships, seven National League pennants, and nine division titles. The Philadelphia Phillies chronicles the greatness of Grover Cleveland Alexander, the remarkable career of Richie Ashburn, the perfection of Jim Bunning, and the teams of success and luster as well as those shining stars of the less successful eras.
Use these tips as a general guide when finding your measurements:
Chest/Bust: With your arms at your sides, measure around the fullest part of your chest, across shoulder blades and under arms.
Waist: To measure your natural waistline, wrap the tape so it intersects your navel. Keep tape flat, but comfortably loose.
Hips: Stand with your heels together and measure the fullest part of your hips. Make sure the measuring tape is level all the way around your body.
Inseam: Stand up straight, and start the tape measure high in your crotch. Straighten the tape down the inside of your leg to the bottom of your ankle.
Hat Size: Measure your head about a half-inch above your eyebrow where the hat will sit. If you are unsure or between sizes, buy the larger size.

This book is a must for any true Phillies fan. It's full of interesting facts about the history of the club and it's many players over the the years. It brought by many interesting memories for me going back to when I first became a die hard Phillies fan in 1954. The pictures are clear. This book should be on the book shelf of any fan of the Frghtin Phil's.

enjoyable but a bit disorganized
I read the book cover to cover and enjoyed the photos (many of them rare) and captions. The chapters were a bit disorganized, not always in chronological order, and the photos and information were definitely skewed toward early Phillies history. There probably as many photos from the 1910s as there were from 1970 to 2010. The chapter on stadiums was fascinating and a strong point of the book. But as far as players, the book was far from definitive, more like a light sampling.
