About The Fightin' Phillies: 100 Years Of Philadelphia
Product Description From when the Phillies franchise was established in 1883 and a rookie manager led the team to its first National League pennant in 1915 to the World Series titles in 1980 and 2008, Larry Shenk, a longtime Phillies executive, provides insight into a potpourri of faces, places, events, and personalities in Phillies history. He takes readers through every no-hitter thrown by a Phillies pitcher and an incredible season by a relief pitcher who became the Most Valuable Player. Read about Mike Schmidt’s most dramatic home run, the youngest pitcher to ever win a game in the big leagues, the greatest one-game performance in World Series history, the most unbreakable records in franchise history, and why the Phillies held spring training in Pennsylvania during the 1940s. About the Author Larry “Baron” Shenk has been a fixture in the Phillies front office, starting with the team during the 1964 season. After 40-plus years as the head of the Phillies public relations department, Baron has assumed a new position with the Phillies as vice president, alumni relations. He has authored hundreds of Phillies publications and is author of If These Walls Could Talk: Philadelphia Phillies. A graduate of Millersville State College (1961), Baron was a general reporter with the Lebanon Daily News (1961–63) and the Wilmington News-Journal (1963) before joining the Phillies. A former relief pitcher, Larry Andersen is a color commentator on Phillies radio broadcasts. He resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
