This review is from: Connie Mack's '29 Triumph: The Rise and Fall of the Philadelphia Athletes Dynasty (Paperback)
For anyone who either hasn't heard of the Philadelphia A's, or wants to learn more. This team was one of the all-time greats & went to 3 straight World Series, winning 2. Lots of Hall of Famers on the roster (Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane), plus the manager Connie Mack. Too bad the Oakland A's (& most fans today) don't honor them more.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Connie Mack's '29 Triumph: The Rise and Fall of the Philadelphia Athletes Dynasty (Paperback)
bill certainly does his homework on this one. he holds a great aurguement on the fact that the numbers speak for themselve. yes, the yanks were & are great, that doesn't discount the A's stats & record during that time period. especially when they were head to head against the yanks. if any reader enjoys joys this book they are only going to enjoy the rest of his baseball books. we are truly lucky regionaly & nationally to have a writer of his caliber especially on phillies & pennsylvania baseball history. YOU GO BILL !!!!
