Colorful shaggy and unkempt misfits and outlaws the 1993 Phillies played hard and partied hard. Focusing on six key members of the team Macho Row follows the remarkable season with an upclose look at the players lives the teams triumphs and failures and what made this group so unique and so successful.
This is the story of a forgotten Giant--the man Baseball Magazine called in 1930 baseball's greatest first baseman--Bill Terry. Brought up from proverty and the obscurity of semipro ball in the South by the famed Little Napoleon, manager John McGraw of the Giants, Terry developed into the team's key player in the 1920s. As America battled the Depression, the no-nonsense Terry replaced McGraw as manager of the Giants and led the team to three pennants and a world championship.

It has been said that Connie Mack managed only two kinds of teams during his half-century in the City of Brother Love--unbeatable and lousy. His teams collected nine pennants and five World Series titles, balanced by 17 last place finishes. While Mack, an enterprising businessman, had a gift for discovering talented players and molding them into a team, by the time he was well into his sixties, Philadelphians suspected that the A's skipper had lost his ability.

Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played stood for decades until Cal Ripken Jr. broke it in 1995. Most people remember Gehrig for this record, or for the disease that claimed his life (and now bears his name). But what many forget is how prolific a hitter he was.
