Recenzii

"Deftly done, unsparing, with neither apology nor alibi."-Bill Lyon, Philadelphia Inquirer "If you know Philadelphia baseball and want to learn how a team was put together the old-fashioned way, Almost a Dynasty is a must read. Bill Kashatus has given us the definitive history of the 1980 Phillies."-Bob Boone, member of the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies "Contrary to popular belief, it took more than Pete Rose's signing, Dallas Green's tirades, and a never-ending string of October miracles to transform the 1980 Phillies from underachievers to World Series paraders. And Bill Kashatus meticulously details it all."-Jayson Stark, ESPN
