You Can't Lose 'Em All by Frank Fitzpatrick
The Philadelphia Phillies, a franchise well over a century old, have only one world championship to their name, but what a championship season it was. You Can't Lose' Em All remembers that near-miraculous winning season of 1980 when the Phillies overcame internal and external struggles to beat the Astros in the National League Championship series and knock off the Royals to tale the World Series honors.
An accomplished sports reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer who has covered the Phillies since the late 1970s, Fitzpatrick examines the standout championship year and how the Phillies overcame numerous obstacles and finally claimed their place in history..The result is a thoroughly entertaining work that anyone who enjoys baseball would appreciate but Philadelphia-area patrons most of all. * Library Journal *
