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.
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 (196163) 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
