2012 Phillies Media Guide

Several Phillies beat writers posted pictures of the 2012 Phillies Media Guide on their Twitter accounts Saturday. The cover is blue and features Phillies Manager, Charlie Manuel holding a large bottle of champagne (commemorating his franchise leading 646 wins). I do not collect the annual Media Guides, but I know there are many who do. As a season ticket holder, I receive one each year - but, normally only keep the most recent edition. For me, I prefer the Guides that feature player cover art - though, few can deny that Manuel's eclipsing of Gene Mauch's long-standing franchise wins record does deserve recognition.
