Book Review: As Good as a Tony Luke's Pork Sandwich
Summary: 5 Stars
Mankind loves lists. They do two things: 1) present information in an orderly, concise matter; and 2) generate debate over the ranking. What better topic to list than the tragicomic history of Philadelphia Sports. Glen Macnow, an esteemed writer and sports talk show host, and Big Daddy Graham, a great comedian for three decade team up to write the definitive listings of all things dealing with Philadelphia sports. You want to know the 10 greatest athletes from Philly, the 'burbs, South Joisey, it's all here. Ten greatest Philadlephia Phillies moments, 10 worst referee calls against Philly teams; you'll find those too. You'll even find out where the 10 best pizza parlors in Philly and the 10 best movies shot in Philadelphia. Big Daddy's list of lost Philadelphia street games is great -- I remember playing most of them, even the deadly game of knuckles (which I have taught my son).
The beauty of this book is that it reads fast and funny. No death by stats here. Lots of humorous anecdotes and good debate. I can't get enough of it. Whe I read it on a plane, people ask me about it. The book is great.
