Interesting old book (written in 1981) because it talked about some of the horrible Philly sports teams from the 1950s through the 1970s, as the city was entering a golden age of professional sports, with the Flyers, Sixers, Phillies, and Eagles all in (or even winning) championships. I appreciated some of the old stories that I hadn't heard before, since they were mostly before my time.
