Description

Great teams in baseball are never really forgotten, but this book brings one of them to life. There are memories on these pages that will remind you just how great this team was, bringing back the joy and smiles of an era and a team we’ve sadly overlooked. These Phillies were, perhaps, the first great modern team, built through both the draft, trades, and free agency. Daniel has weaved together a reminder and a lesson worth reading."" - Will Carroll, author of The Juice

""Daniel does a masterful job of bringing back all the fun and drama of the 1980 season, along with insight into the men who made it memorable. Well written and entertaining, this is a great read for any baseball fan."" - Doug Wilson, author of The Bird: The Life and Legacy of Mark Fidrych

""1980s baseball is the next wave of baseball research and writing. Jon Daniel’s Phinally! is a fun look back at the teams and players that made that year, and the decade to come, such a joy for baseball fans."" - Jeff Katz, author, Split Season: 1981—Fernandomania, the Bronx Zoo and the Strike that Saved Baseball

""Phinally! brings back fond memories of a special season. A must for anyone’s bucket list of reading."" - Larry Shenk, vice president of public relations, Phillies, 1964–2007; ""Phinally! is a must read for fans, Gen-X’ers, and those nostalgic for the era of polyester uniforms, This Week In Baseball, and astroturf."" - Bijan Bayne, author, Elgin Baylor: The Man Who Changed Basketball

""J. Daniel pulls off some baseball time travel in Phinally!, adeptly guiding readers through the beanball fights, salary squabbles , and the truly epic hardball moments of an amazing season."" - Joe Cox, author of The Immaculate Inning: Unassisted Triple Plays, 40/40 Seasons, and the Stories Behind Baseball’s Rarest Feats.
