Ballpark Classics Baseball Game
$279.00
This is a terrific game! I like having a game that is good for all ages and gets a little healthy competition started with a little skill! Also, it is a beautiful game. I just love all the details on the ball park itself and the findings and finishings. I would recommend this for any baseball fanatic. There are some really helpful tips and tricks we learned on their Web site.

Ballpark: The Story of America's Baseball Fields
$7.99
So many baseball park where I enjoyed watching games in my youth are gone!
Ebbetts Field, The Polo Grounds, Memorial Stadium, County Stadium, Crosley Field, Forbes Field, Veterans Stadium, Connie Mack Stadium, the old Busch Stadium, the old Comiskey Park, Griffith Stadium, Tiger Stadium, Municipal Stadium, the Houston Astrodome,Candlestick Park and more recently Atlanta's Fulton County Coliseum, Metropolitian Stadium (Bloomington Minnesota),Three Rivers Stadium,and Riverfront Stadium. Admittedly some of the new parks are prettier and very modern. But most of these historic parks with their idiosychracies are very nostalgic with fond memories. Thompson's and Mays' catch in the Polo Grounds, Aaron's 715th in Fulton County Coliseum are a few of many. Sadly, most of these parks have been torn down. We have beautiful new ones that are hard to identify because their name changes almost every year. Pac Bell (now AT&T) Park in San Francisco, Miller Park in Milwaukee, Jacobs Field in Cleveland (soon to take on the name of a sponsor), Camden Yards in Baltimore, Comerica in Detroit, The Great America Park in Cincinnati, Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia, Royals Stadium, Coors Stadium in Denver, The Hubert Humphrey Dome in Minneapolis and others

Still standing from the past are Wrigley Field in Chicago, Boston's Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. But next year my beloved Yankee Stadium will be replaced and soon after that Shea Stadium will be gone! We need books like this to provide the pictures and memories of the old and to alsosee the look of the future.

Ballparks: A Panoramic History
$30.00
If you love ballparks then this book has got to be in your book collection. It's a huge book, (you'll need an extra large coffee table once you've opened it up), crammed with wonderful aerial and panoramic views of old and new ballparks. The quality of some photos is better than others and there are numerous mistakes in some of the text but that doesn't detract from the fact that most of the panoramic shots are of the jaw-dropping variety. What helps this book is that the pictures are so large. I hate those ballpark books where you see a stadium from above and it's the size of a postage stamp and it's also blurred. If you're looking for a history of these parks, then this book isn't for you. Just enjoy opening up the book and make believe you actually are sitting in Fenway, Wrigley, PNC and Yankee Stadium. A visual treat!
