From home field to home ice, from racetrack to putting green, find out about the weird and interesting side of sports from a state that has always been about more than just winning: Herman Edwards famous ''Miracle in the Meadowlands'' touchdown that preserved a six-year winning streak for the Eagles against the Giants was the only fumble recovery he had in a 10-year NFL career. Pennsylvania has not only been the home of a Kentucky Derby winner -- 2004's Smarty Jones -- but a Kentucky Derby winner also shares the name of a Pennsylvania city -- 1939's Johnstown; In 1955, the University of Pittsburgh's Bobby Grier was the first black player to play in the Sugar Bowl; despite receiving a ton of fan mail, the Louisiana legislature later banned blacks from playing in the Sugar Bowl; Every current major professional sports franchise to call Pennsylvania home -- Phillies, Pirates, Eagles, Steelers, Penguins, Flyers, Sixers -- has won a world championship; The Philadelphia Phillies have lost more games than any other MLB team in history, and their 23-game losing streak in 1961 is a modern record; Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby was the youngest player to win the NHL scoring title in his second season and the youngest player in history to be named captain of his team.

The ultimate reference book for any “Phillie phanatic,” this book provides a behind-the-scenes peek into the private world of the players, managers, broadcasters, and executives, taking readers into the clubhouse and onto the field. Author Robert Gordon takes fans inside the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies' run to the World Series, when first baseman John Kruk once told a fan, “I ain't an athlete, lady, I'm a baseball player;” back to 1980, when Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, and Larry Bowa delivered the team's first World Series title; and to 2008, when a new generation experienced the ecstasy of a World Series win. Written for every fan who follows the Phillies, this unique book captures the memories and great stories from more than a century of the team's history.
