A "must have" if you love Ballparks!

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!

Ballparks by Sandalow and Sutton

This volume is a must for sports enthusiasts everywhere. The photos
of the various ballparks are spectacular feats of color photography. The Camden Yards are presented. The picture depicts the Yankees/Orioles contest in August of 2003. A panoramic shot
of the Oriole Park depicts nightfall in the ballpark. There are
similar spectacular views of Fenway Park, Memorial Stadium and Shea Stadium in NYC. A full color picture of Pro-Player Stadium provides
a considerable conversation piece for Miami Dolphin fans. The book is worth the price of admission for the diehard sports fans.
This volume would make a perfect school project for the student in your family.

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.
