Every day on the calendar is represented with a fun tidbit of information of what has happened on that specific day, over the years, in the history of one of the greatest sports towns in the world: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Every page is filled with accounts of specific events from the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, and 76ers, as well as the local college and high school sports teams. The authors incorporate fun facts, specific information, and thoroughly researched statistical data into each entry.From the inception of the Penn Relays in 1895 to the Eagles Nick Foless record-tying performance in 2013, this book covers it all. Relive the evening in late October of 2008 when the Phillies captured their second World Series title or Allen Iversons 55-point showing against the Hornets in the first game of the 2003 playoffs.
