Easy read. Brought back some memories as the book started with Bill Campbell as one of the early broadcasters of Phillies games. Wheeler also discussed his experiences with Richie Ashburn, Harry Kalas, Tim McCarver, Andy Musser, John Kruk and others. Wheeler also discussed the Phillies managers that he worked with including Dallas Green, Charlie Manuel, Jim Fregosi, Larry Bowa etc.

You are not going to find any salacious stories or dirt revealed in this book. Lots of great anecdotes, especially about Richie Ashburn, who had a wicked sense of humor.

This book covered the World Series successes in 1980 and 2008. (Geez it has been over 12 years ago!) I enjoyed Wheeler's memories of the parades through Philadelphia. The book also covered the death of Harry Kalas. I remember the shock of his death while he was getting to broadcast a game.

Some great Phillies memories...
