Overview
A front row seat to the key Phillie teams and personalities of the past century
The ultimate reference book for any “Phillie phanatic,” this book provides a behind-the-scenes peek into the private world of the players, managers, broadcasters, and executives, taking readers into the clubhouse and onto the field. Author Robert Gordon takes fans inside the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies’ run to the World Series, when first baseman John Kruk once told a fan, “I ain’t an athlete, lady, I’m a baseball player;” back to 1980, when Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Larry Bowa delivered the team's first World Series title; and to 2008, when a new generation experienced the ecstasy of a World Series win. Written for every fan who follows the Phillies, this unique book captures the memories and great stories from more than a century of the team’s history.
Author Biography
Robert Gordon is the author of eight sports books, including Legends of the Philadelphia Phillies; More Than Beards, Bellies, and Biceps: The Story of the 1993 Phillies; and Philadelphia Phillies: Memorable Stories of Phillies Baseball. He lives in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

The Greatest Phillies Stories Ever Told
By Robert Gordon / Foreword by Jimmy Rollins
CONTACT: Bill Ames, Triumph Books, 312.676.4256, bames@ipgbook.com
The city of Philadelphia. Home of the cheese steak, brotherly love and-for over 130 years-the Phillies. Fans of the oldest continuous one-name, one-city have pledged their allegiance and stuck with their team through the highs and lows-remaining with the Phillies during the record-breaking 23-game losing streak in 1961 and cheering them on during their 1980 and 2008 World Series title runs. But that is all on the field. What fans don't know about are the untold stories from the dugout and beyond that make the Phillies special.
In "Then Bowa Said to Schmidt..." The Greatest Phillies Stories Ever Told (Triumph Books, April 2013) by Phillies author Robert Gordon, Philadelphia Phillies fans are given a behind-the-scenes peek into the private world of managers, players and broadcasters. Taking Phillies fans into the dugout and onto the field, "Then Bowa Said to Schmidt..." is chock-full of previously unheard stories about some of the greatest names to ever put on the Phillies uniform and the most memorable games played throughout the franchise's 130 year history. Gordon takes fans on a wild journey with moments including:
- Candid interviews with famous in-the-know Phillies like Richie Ashburn, but also behind-the-scenes people like Maje McDonnell, Tom Burgoyne and Video Dan Stephenson
- Historic stories that outline the shaping of the Phillies from the Whiz Kids to the 1980 and 2008 World Series Champions
- Hilarious and previously unheard off-the-field moments from players, managers and executives including former first baseman John Kruk telling a fan "I'm not an athlete, lady, I'm a baseball player."
- Narratives that reveal how the Phillies franchise has helped shape the history of the city of Philadelphia
Giving fans a front row seat to the key Phillies teams and personalities of the past century, "Then Bowa Said to Schmidt..." offers baseball fans everywhere an insider's look at the history and little-known lore of the Philadelphia Phillies.
About the Author:
Robert Gordon is the author of eight sports books, including Legends of the Philadelphia Phillies; More Than Beards, Bellies, and Biceps: The Story of the 1993 Phillies and Philadelphia Phillies: Memorable Stories of Phillies Baseball. He lives in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
