Philadelphia Baseball Players Who Made the Major Leagues
"Native Sons again demonstrates Rich Westcott's skills as one of major
league baseball's outstanding historians. For the first time, Westcott has
compiled a complete, well-documented, vividly written account of every player
and manager who was born in the Philadelphia area and realized the dream of
making it to the big leagues. They're all here - from Cal Abrams to Bert
Yeabsley, as well as many of the significant records and lively anecdotes that
have helped make the City of Brotherly Love such a colorful part of our
National Pastime." - Robert S. Lyons, author of Palestra Pandemonium: A
History of the Big 5
