From the very first pitch thrown in 1883 to the final slider uncorked by Brad Lidge to clinch the 2008 World Series, the Philadelphia Phillies have - for 126 years -- both tormented and delighted their fans. Six pennants - two titles - more than 10,000 losses and countless -what ifs- have transpired in parks from Recreation to Shibe to Citizens Bank. Unforgettable names have been etched in red and white - Whitey, Schmidty, Lefty, Dutch and Chase. Glorious home runs, unexpected no-hitters, dramatic comebacks and far too many -wait ‘til next years- have made up the mosaic of this team. Yet through it all, the most passionate and loyal fans in baseball have never stopped caring. It’s all here from the painstaking years to the unforgettable parades down Broad Street. Through archival footage, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage and sound, this is, indeed, the definitive history of Philadelphia’s favorite team.
