What If?

All Philadelphia sports fans have wondered how things might have been different if our teams won more, stopped breaking our hearts, and commissioned more parades down Broad Street. But have you ever thought about different things could have been if little moments went the other way? If a tipped pass was actually caught? If a trade never happened? If a last-minute, buzzer-beating shot rimmed out?

This book is an attempt to answer those questions, the ones that gnaw at every single Philadelphia sports fan. The moments that could have become memories for the good-or the bad. The decisions that teams want back, and the moves that could have led to iconic moments. Legacies redefined. All-time moments zapped from memory. Close calls. Revisionist history.

There's an alternative reality in which Philadelphia is Titletown, USA. And there's one in which the most popular team in town is still searching for its first Super Bowl championship. A way in which a legacy is totally reshaped, and how a budding star is traded away in the most controversial trade in city history. And even how a disgraced former American icon lands in the city of Brotherly Love, perhaps altering the course of legal history.

This dive into the unknown will take the reader through the ups and downs of what was, what could have been, and where it would have taken us all.
