Remarkable Ballparks:Dan Mansfield

Hardcover | Photographic Coffee Table Book What started as America’s National Pastime is now a global phenomenon with multi-million dollar baseball leagues around the world and enough countries playing the game to warrant its inclusion in the 2020/1 Olympics.

Remarkable Ballparks looks at the range of amazing places that host baseball games starting with the historic Wrigley Field rooftop grandstands, together with the home of the Green Monster, Fenway Park. In 1960, John Updike writing in the New Yorker described Fenway Park as: “a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark".

Then there are the mega-structures of the modern ballparks with retractable roofs to protect against weather: Toronto’s Roger’s Centre and Seattle’s T-Mobile Park for rain, and Miami’s LoanDepot Park for heat.
