A Great Read!

Mr. Brown has done it again with a very insightful and thoughtful sports read! I would highly recommend this book.

Philly Jocks

An outstanding debate on the best Philly athletes of the last 50 years. Brown offers up such wide ranging criteria for consideration that you can make the case for a varied list of athletes - and the Philly fans have done just that! For a non Philadelphia fan/native the book is a great refresher on the careers of some of the lesser known and somewhat forgotten athletes of the city as well. Brown's done a great job of assembling long time local journalists, broadcasters and fans to add their personal anecdotes to the mix as well. I say this with all due affection but this is a great bathroom reader!
