* Review: Phillies Photos: 100 Years of Philadelphia Phillies Images

December 15, 2008

As per the Philadelphia Inquirer, this combo review/author profile of Mark Stang and his new collection of snapshots about the Phillies, published by Orange Frazier. I’m guessing the book was planned before the Phillies won their championship, but the timing can only help sales.

Key point: “According to Stang, the majority of baseball photos through the 1960s were posed and composed by wire-service and newspaper photographers, reflecting an era when editors preferred that type to action shots. The best shooters constantly were seeking new ways to reveal their subjects’ characters.”
