Book Reviews of Almost a Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the 1980 Phillies

Book Review: Wonderful Phillies book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book follows on the heels of the author's prior "September Swoon." I really enjoyed this one as well. A great and well-researched history of the time before and after the 1980 Phillies championship. If you are a fan of the Phillies or 1970's baseball, you should enjoy this book.
