Almost a Dynasty by William C Kashatus
Almost A Dynasty details the rise and fall of the World Champion 1980 Phillies. Based on personal interviews, newspaper accounts, and the keen insight of a veteran baseball writer, the book convincingly explains how a losing team was finally able to win its first world championship."Deftly done, unsparing, with neither apology nor alibi"—Bill Lyon, Philadelphia Inquirer
"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
"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
William C. Kashatus is author of more than a dozen books, including the award-winning September Swoon: Richie Allen, the '64 Phillies, and Racial Integration.
