Editorial Reviews

Review

“The definitive book on the venerated Cleveland baseball venue.”―Nineteenth Century Notes; “[T]he authors have created a well-documented and carefully constructed history of a ballpark, a fan base, and a community…a loving search to explain why the ballpark deserves a worthy place in history. Krsolovic and Fritz do excellent detective work, exploiting primary sources and a mix of histories to present a chronological understanding of the importance of early ballparks to any geographic area, and to those who reside there”―SABR Deadball Committee Newsletter; “a well-researched look at one of major-league baseball’s quirkier ballparks…generously sprinkled with vintage black-and-white photos of the park”―The Tampa Tribune.
