Product Description
Let the debating begin! Philadelphia is one of the top sports towns in America. Its fans are commonly considered to be the most passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated sports enthusiasts in the country. WIP-AM radio’s Glen Macnow and Big Daddy Graham engage in this phenomenon with a compilation of sports lists sure to stir up dialogue within the already buzzing Philadelphia sports community and beyond. Who were the ugliest mugs to ever play in Philadelphia? What Philly athletes gave the best performance in film or TV? What are the top area sports bars? Who are the most overrated and underrated players in Philadelphia history? What Philadelphia mortals had “touched-by-God” moments during the game? Who is the most hated rival to Philly teams? Who made the greatest sports exit? Who are the most beautiful women associated with Philly sports? Plus, dozens of lists from Philly legends like Joe Frazier, Ed Snyder, Harry Kalas, Bobby Clarke, Bernard Hopkins, and many more!

Best "Bowl" Book, Ever June 22, 2007
When I need to recycle some scrapple, this is the book I reach for to read on the throne. Funny, nostalgic and insightful. Same qualities that make BDG the best personality at Meathead Central - WIP (come back, Jody Mac ... all is forgiven). Reads like a blue-collar guy's guide to Philly. At $2.99, great stocking stuffers!
A Great Read May 12, 2007
This book is a great read. It contains all kind of lists. Some of my favorite lists were; greatest Philly movies, Greatest pizza places, and especially umpire Eric Gregg's list. A great gift for any sports fan.
a history of Philadelphia sports January 15, 2007
The book was not only a book of lists but also a history of the Philadelphia sports scene. Great easy reading and very insightful.
Thoroughly entertaining January 4, 2007

The authors of The Great Book of Philadelphia Sports Lists, Glen Macnow and Big Daddy Graham, are among the few 610 WIP personalities I enjoy. When I purchased this book, I did so with great expectations. Let me tell you I was not disappointed at all.
Regardless of wether or not you agree with some selections on the lists, the book will hold your attention. It is entertaining throughout (there are occasional lists few and far between that are rather dull, but they couldn't ALL be winners, could they?) and quite humorous. There are also some lists mixed in that are not sports-related. Strangely, they don't seem out of place.
Perhaps what I enjoyed the most about the book is the many guest contributions from Philadelphia athletes, broadcasters, journalists, or others with local ties, many from outside the world of sports. These lists include local PA announcers' favorite names and greatest locker room feuds the fans never got to see, just to name a few.
If you are a Philadelphia sports fan, don't just go by my recommendation, go out and pick this up yourself. You'll be glad you did.
