Green Cathedrals The Ultimate Celebration of Major League and Negro League Ballparks

"Green Cathedrals" is a celebration of the sport of baseball, through the lens of its ballparks-- the " fields of dreams" of players and fans alike. In all, some 405 ballparks have, over time, hosted a Major League or Negro League game, and each one of them is given its due, from hard statistics about dimensions to nostalgic and current photographs, to anecdotes that will inspire the memories of fans all over the country. From Fenway Park and Gus Greenlee Field (home of the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords), to Ebbets Field, Camden Yards, and the brand-new parks that have opened in the past two years, "Green Cathedrals" presents a cavalcade of the most beautiful sporting venues in history. Fully revised and updated since its previous edition a decade ago, with more than 130 new ballparks and hundreds of new photographs, "Green Cathedrals" is an essential reference for baseball aficionados and a perfect gift for baseball fans everywhere.Lowry, Philip is the author of 'Green Cathedrals The Ultimate Celebration of Major League and Negro League Ballparks', published 2006 under ISBN 9780802715623 and ISBN 0802715621.
