Query: Boring

Occasional Glory covers the Phillies from their inception in 1883 to 2000 and is very well researched - and as an index (a big plus for me). However, it is bogged down in stats, for instance constantly referring to players records and batting averages. While, each year is covered in this short book, I could not fall in love with the players. What made the Whiz Kids so special compared to the team of 1964? Why was Steve Carlton so beloved, and Shilling not so much? It reads like a history book, with no narrative. Also where is the Phanatic and Phil and Phillis in this book?
