Though there are certainly other blogs out there that deal with the Phillies, this one is written exclusively through a fan’s perspective. Stats and algorithms have their place in analyzing baseball, but if a player sucks, Phillies fans don’t require quantitative proof. We smell failure a mile away. We boo first, ask questions later. And in those rare cases when sweet victory befalls upon us, we rejoice and celebrate like only Phillies fans do: by going to Geno’s and making it a two cheesesteak night.These guys live and die by the Phillies and are as Phanatical of phans as you can get. It’s that intensity that makes this a good read. I hope you agree.For a good read, click on the link below and go check out this book by Professor Mitchell Nathanson of Villanova University School of Law entitled, “The Fall of the 1977 Phillies: How a Baseball Team’s Collapse Sank a City’s Spirit”.
