About the Book

The benchmark volume for any fan wanting to know all the facts about baseball's oldest continuous one-city, one-name team is back in a new edition. To help commemorate the Phillies move to a new ballpark in 2004, authors Rich Westcott and Frank Bilovsky have updated and expanded this indispensable work for the first time since 1993. The authors have revised existing player biographies and stats, and added profiles of new Phillies. Seventy-five new photos and a 16-page color insert bring the total number of illustrations to an amazing 600-plus. And longtime Phils' broadcaster Harry Kalas has contributed a new Foreword for the occasion."The Phillies Encyclopedia, Third Edition", will recall all the highs and the lows of one of America's most storied baseball teams to oldtimers and a new generation of fans alike. From Baker Bowl days to Citizens Bank Park, from Chuck Klein to Jim Thome, it's over a century of baseball in a single book. New features include: over seventy new photographs; updated biographies of every Phillies Hall-of-Famer; updated stats on every player through the end of the 2003 season; 11 new seasons added; almost every chapter updated with new information on team history; and, new player profiles.Rich Westcott was publisher and editor of Phillies Report.
