A facsimile edition of the 1953 history of the Philadelphia Phillies Fred Lieb and Stan Baumgartner's history of the Philadelphia Phillies was originally published in 1953 as part of the celebrated series of major league team histories published by G. P. Putnam. With their colorful prose and delightful narratives, the Putnam books have been described as the Cadillac of the genre and have become prized collectibles for baseball readers and historians. Together Lieb and Baumgartner chronicle the Phillies franchise's turbulent past—from its frustrating early decades, through its heartbreaking loss to the Boston Red Sox in the 1915 World Series, to its exciting "Whiz Kids" pennant of 1950. Phillies legends like Grover Cleveland Alexander, Chuck Klein, and Ed Delahanty fill these pages, and their colorful anecdotes are woven into the fabric of each season's story. In addition to its comprehensive and intimate examination of the team's history, The Philadelphia Phillies addresses the challenge of rooting for an often-struggling home team in a city known for its passionate baseball fans. Lieb's devotion to his hometown Phillies and overall love of the game and Baumgartner's unique insight as a Philadelphia sportswriter and former player often lead to thoughtful advice and comfort for long-suffering Phillies fans. A trip through a rocky but remarkable past, The Philadelphia Phillies is another enjoyable addition to the Writing Sports Series.
With a legacy that spans two fiercely loyal baseball towns a
half-nation apart, the Baltimore Orioles--originally the St. Louis
Browns--rank among baseball's most storied teams. One of the
fifteen celebrated team histories commissioned by G. P. Putnam's
Sons in the 1940s and 1950s, The "Baltimore Orioles: The History of
a Colorful Team in Baltimore and St. Louis" chronicles the club's
early history and is reissued on the fiftieth anniversary of their
first season in Baltimore.
