As a huge Phillies fan, while also living in Philly, this was such a fun and interesting read. I loved the history of the Phillies, but also the history of baseball in the city. While I was not even close to being a live in the 50s, this was the team my grandpa followed so it was interesting to get his perspective. I feel like I share the same feelings where this team has always just been hot and cold lol

A great book on the 1950 Phillies. The author covered both the Phillies history leading up to and following their rise to the top of the National League and quick fall back into mediocrity. From Richie Ashburn and Eddie Waitkis to Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts, the author tells the stories of all that made the 1950 Phillies the Whiz Kids. I would highly recommend this to any baseball fan looking for a great book about this team.
