This is such a wonderful book. The photos, the colors, it took me back to my childhood. While it was given to me as a gift, I should have bought it before. If you are looking for a gift for that baseball nut you have in your family, get them this book. You will not go wrong and they will love you for it.
A "must have" if you love Ballparks! February 18, 2008

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!
The new best ballpark picture book! August 7, 2004

The physically large size of this book allows huge panoramic pictures of many of the ballparks covered. You feel like you are actually sitting in a ballpark seat watching a game while looking out at the field and stands. Beautiful color photos! I love ballpark books - this would get 7 starts if that were possible in the Amazon rating system! Buy it!
