Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.”

He must’ve been a Phillies fan.

The Philadelphia Phillies, a franchise nearly 150 years old, has only reached its grand destination twice (World Series wins in 1980 and 2008), but it harbors the most fervent fan base in baseball. How?

Well, Olive Garden famously said, “When you’re here, you’re family.” The Phillies—warts and all—have been an inextricable part of the city, and the lives of the fans who cheered them on. The team’s story is part of our story.

This book is an encyclopedia of sorts, but it’s more of a family history. We won’t get too deep into the really old stuff. Let’s face it: While I’m sure the 1915 World Series loss was painful, no one’s calling local sports radio to curse the name of Eppa Rickey. We’ll mostly delve into the memories that formed this generation’s deep bond with its ballclub; the kinds of happenings—good and bad—that somehow manifested an unrivaled home-field advantage.

At any game, in any city, a stadium media crew can ask its fans to scream as loudly as possible…but they can’t make them care. The Phillies have the best home edge in baseball because, through it all, the fans never stopped caring.

This book will cover the moments and emotions of being a Phillies fan, from every perspective: the players, coaches, front office, fans, etc. Phillies fandom is a family, and this is our collective history.
