Baseball DIY

I'm a sucker for books on the original ballparks; I love the history of not only the team and the park but the surrounding city and how baseball affected it from the beginning. But there is something about Ebbets Field that pretty much any fan of baseball feels. Even if you don't particularly like the Dodgers you can't deny what they were to Brooklyn and what a tragedy it was when the disappeared into the night.

Bob Mcgee has a new book out about Ebbets Field and the Dodgers, how the field was built, what Brooklyn was like before, what the Dodgers hoped to accomplish. Sounds like a worthwhile walk down memory lane for anyone who loves the game.
