My friend Dusan and I spent 66 days covering the entire continent with the goal of seeing every MLB team play in their home stadiums. It was an incredibly massive undertaking that neither of us were prepared for. Enjoy our uncensored story through the United States. I wanted to deliver the most accurate version of my story as I could. I believe that I covered everything, the good and bad. All the booze, cans of cold food, discount hotels and nights sleeping in the car. It was a life changing experience. Over 66 days, we covered more than 35000 kms, had 4 oil changes, and 30 baseball games. Aside from baseball, we explored everything the country had to offer, from Roswell to the Grand Canyon, and all the way to the beaches of Miami. I hope you enjoy this book, because this journey changed my life.

Download or read book Ballparks Then and Now written by Eric Enders and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ballparks Then and Now is a fascinating exploration of ballparks across America. Packed with archival and modern photography, this book documents the development of America's national pastime by looking at the fields of dreams on which it is played. The ballpark experience has changed dramatically from baseball's early days on grassy lots with wooden grandstands and free admission. The Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York, is considered by many to be the first ballpark ever built, when William Cammeyer converted the Union Skating Pond in 1862. Ballparks Then and Now traces the evolution of stadiums used by all the MLB teams today. Organized alphabetically they range from Anaheim and Atlanta to Toronto and Washington. Ballparks grew in size and grandeur from wooden bleachers and stands that often perished in ferocious fires (Boston, Cincinnati) to the concrete cookie-cutter ballparks of the 1960s and 1970s (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh). These multi-sport stadiums have now been replaced by modern retro designs (Yankees, Mets) that give each park its own unique feel. Batting far into the 9th are the carefully updated historic ballparks (Redsox, Cubs) nested in the heart of their communities.
