Ray Didinger’s Book: ONE LAST READ

“Having lived in Philadelphia and grown up in Hersey, a distant suburb, I know one thing, Philadelphia has a unique spirit and take on life. No one can capture that spirit like Ray Didinger. The special magnetism of this great city has its embodiment through its sports teams. Ray makes that all come to life in this book. To understand Philly you have to understand what the first Flyers Stanley Cup meant to the city after so many disappointments, you have to understand Villanova-St Joe’s on a snowy February night at the Palestra. A lot of us lived it. Now, through Ray’s wonderful prose, the rest of the world can know why we are like we are-proud Philadelphian’s”…….Ernie Accorsi, former General Manager of the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants. ( Mr Accorsi is also proud of his favorite baseball franchise “Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics.)

“Cheesesteaks, Rocky, bad baseball. Ray Didinger on Philly sports. It’s all from the same family. Ray’s writing is wonderful. It takes you to the corner of Broad & Pattison, and I am blown away with his insight and perfect perceptions of an imperfect sports scene”…… Peter King, Sports Illustrated, NBC, HBO Sports
