Book excerpt: Known as the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia is one of the most colorful and proud metropolises in the United States. From the original Lenape Indians residing alongside the Delaware River, to the colony of New Sweden, to becoming the first capital and colonial center of the United States, Philly has gone through many changes. Fueled by immigrant dreams that laid the groundwork for dozens of distinct and unique areas, the city is many things to many people; a "city of neighborhood", a living museum of colonial architecture and artifacts; a dynamic canvas for art, music, and other cultural products; and a mecca for sports fans. Earlier waves of Italians, Irish, Dutch, German, and African Americans have made way for newer arrivals from Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere. Together, they keep Philly pride as solid and inspiring today as the Rocky statue that symbolizes them. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stubble scruffed up their chins. Tobacco wads ballooned their cheeks. The 1993 Philadelphia Phillies had the look of a slow-pitch softball team itching to kick some serious butt. They did kick butt, too, on and off the field. “They lived the life of professional baseball players as fully as it can be done,” manager Jim Fregosi said. Though they weren’t a photogenic bunch, their mugs were everywhere, on Baseball Today, on David Letterman, and on Saturday Night Live. Even President Clinton quipped about them. The newly revised edition of Robert Gordon’s and Tom Burgoyne’s More Than Beards, Bellies, and Biceps: The Story of the 1993 Phillies tells the complete story of this gang of baseball throwbacks that quickly seduced the hometown fans. By season’s end they had won over the rest of the country, too. America’s Most Wanted Team became America’s Team in a heart-thumping World Series against Toronto. The ’93 Phils drew more spectators than any other Philadelphia franchise in the city’s century-and-a-quarter of professional sports. More Than Beards, Bellies, and Biceps offers the story of a team that burned the candle at both ends and lit up a city like a firecracker.
