Description
Detailing Philadelphia's long sports drought, this account chronicles the magical postseason run that unleashed a quarter-century of pent-up frustration. For 25 years, the city waited for a team like the 2008 Phillies to come along, and unlike so many Phillies teams that were haunted by the past, this team was inspired by it, by the chance to place its own inimitable stamp on the franchise.
