Book Reviews of Phillies Confidential: The Untold Inside Story of the 2008 Championship Season (Confidential)

Book Review: Love the Phillies
Summary: 2 Stars

I love the Phillies and will always cherish the 2008 World Series Championship, however, this book added nothing to the experience or memory. There is nothing in the book I haven't heard or read many times over through basic outlets like newspapers. The book contained nothing that was confidential and clearly nothing that was close to untold.

Nice keepsake. Looks good on the bookshelf but really lacked in content.

Summary of Phillies Confidential: The Untold Inside Story of the 2008 Championship Season (Confidential)

Gary Matthews--All-Star player, coach, and broadcaster--led the Phillies into the World Series in 1983 after an MVP performance in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now the Sarge gives readers a seat in the Phillies dugout as he recounts the day-to-day journey that led to the team's first World Series appearance since 1993. From the off-season acquisition of Brad Lidge to the early-season struggles of Ryan Howard to the team's down-to-the-wire quest for the NL East crown, Phillies Confidential is both an insider's peek into the 2008 clubhouse and a must-have, commemorative keepsake of a Phillies season for the ages.
