Booklist Review of Philadelphia Phillies
This selection from the Professional Baseball Teams: National League East series (30 titles) succeeds at providing an easy-to-understand introduction to its eponymous team. The contents are fairly predictable—introduction to the team, foundation and formation history, uniforms, team spirit, and heroes. There is also a notable mention of game 5 of the 2008 World Series (Phillies versus Rays), as well as important past and present team members and the team’s unusual mascot, the Phanatic. Other topics include statistics about the team’s single-season batting and pitching records, all-time bests for home runs, highest batting average, stolen bases, and more. A glossary of terms, additional facts, recommended resources, and an index close out this book well suited for elementary-school libraries with a strong interest in baseball or all things Philadelphia.
