Description
Book SynopsisIn spring 1914, a new ballpark opened in Chicago. The park would soon be known as Wrigley Field, one of the most emblematic and controversial baseball stadiums in America. In this book, the author provides a detailed chronicle of this living historic landmark. It shows how the stadium has evolved through the years.
Trade Review"This is the story of how ordinary old Wrigley Field became Wrigley Field, baseball mecca and tourist trap, a ballpark populated by dreams and drunks. It takes a Chicago native and baseball scholar like Shea, a North Sider who has lived and died with the Cubs for three decades, to write this outstanding history of one of baseball's crown jewels." (Gary Gillette, editor of The Baseball Encyclopedia)"
