She lives in State College, PA, with her husband Jack, daughter Kristy, and son Dylan, who shares his mother's passion for Philadelphia sports and Penn State football. Her two favorite baseball memories are attending Mike Schmidt's and Richie Ashburn's Hall of Fame induction ceremony and predicting Larry Bowa's stolen base in the first game of the 1980 World Series.

Filled with quotes, quirks, humor, and history, this book will educate and elate Phillies fans as it recalls and celebrates Philadelphia baseball. Zusammenfassung The Phillies Fan's Little Book of Wisdom is chock full of quotes! humor! facts! figures! and memories about those fabulous Philadelphia Phillies.
