Description

Curt Smith (au); Bob Costas (fr). Smith puts us in a field box at every big-league park in the pastime’s history -- from the temples of baseball’s sweetly mythic past to the urban, unorthodox sites of the present like Camden Yards & PNC Park. From park to park throughout the years, the great game’s triumphs, tragedies, & comedies unfold in a kinetic prose. Chronicling the stories, statistics, & characteristics behind all of baseball’s venues, this book is at once a fact-filled almanac of the more than 125 major league ballparks, past & present, & a paean to our national pastime. Includes 36 full-color lithographs of both classic & modern American ballparks. “The ultimate history of American ballparks & also one of the most entertaining histories of the game itself.”
