Summary

A vibrant visual history of America’s most famous ballparks from award-winning author-illustrator Lynn Curlee—now with a new look!

If you love baseball, chances are you love one particular ballpark. Boston fans wax poetic about Fenway Park, Cubs fans are adamant that Wrigley Field is the classic ballfield. Busch Stadium is a hit with folks from Missouri, and Yankee fans are passionate about the House That Ruth Built. Besides passionate fans, there’s one other thing all ballparks—from the Union Grounds in Brooklyn built in 1862 to the Baltimore Orioles’ Camden Yards built in 1992—share: having its own vibrant and unique history.

This baseball book like no other explores both the histories and the cultural significance of America’s most famous ballparks. Grand in scope and illustrations and filled with fascinating anecdotes about these “green cathedrals,” the picture book also explores the changing social climate that accompanied baseball’s rise from a minor sport to the national pastime.
