About this Event
Huxley & Hiro is thrilled to host acclaimed American sportswriter, radio personality, sports author and playwright, Ray Didinger for a signing of his latest book, The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions II.
About the Author:
Ray Didinger was the first print journalist inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. As a columnist for the Philadelphia Bulletin and Philadelphia Daily News, he was named Pennsylvania Sportswriter of the Year five times. In 1995, he won the Bill Nunn Award for long and distinguished reporting on pro football, and his name was added to the writers’ honor roll at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Didinger also won six Emmy Awards for his work as a writer and producer for NFL Films. He has authored or coauthored a dozen books, and his play, Tommy and Me, about his friendship with Eagles Hall of Famer Tommy McDonald was produced by Theater Exile in Philadelphia. He can be heard talking football on 94 WIP Sports Radio and NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Book Description:
Fly, Eagles, Fly! They did it again. The Eagles routed the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX to claim their second NFL championship in the Jeffrey Lurie era. Author Ray Didinger has done it again too, revising and updating his best-selling The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions Edition to celebrate the latest victory.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts described the city’s love for the Eagles as “a Philly thing,” and no one understands that better than Didinger, who has followed the team since the 1950s. In Champions II, he brings that history up to date by writing about the Tush Push, Saquon Barkley’s reverse hurdle, and other milestones of the 2024 season.
This new edition includes:
- More than 60 new photographs plus a 16-page color insert.
- Dozens of new player, coach and front-office profiles.
- Tributes to the team's newest Hall of Fame inductees: Eric Allen, Dick Vermeil and Harold Carmichael.
- An expanded chapter on the Eagles–Cowboys rivalry.
- An updated statistics and records section.
The Eagles Encyclopedia: Champions II is a must have for any E-A-G-L-E-S fan who wants to relive the Big Game and all the drama that led up to it.
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
