Customer Reviews

A *must have* for any baseball fan

This book is incredible in so many different ways. Every major league ballpark (including the Negro leagues) is reviewed down to the smallest detail. Also included is an excellent foreword about ballpark construction and the future thereof by Mr. Dale Swearingen. Mr. Lowry is to be commended for the incredible research base. Everything from distance measurements, fence heights, and the quirkier aspects of each park is examined.
