Críticas
"It's a perfect gift for anyone who loves baseball and travel." --"Chicago Tribune" ""Reading Roadside Baseball" is like spending an afternoon rummaging around in baseball's attic." --Jim Bouton "For the fan, this is the ultimate road trip . . . the perfect [guide] to lead you to all [the] great baseball stops." --Joe Garagiola, announcer and former major league baseball player "This one-of-a-kind road atlas takes baseball fans across the United States to out-of-the-way spots and near-forgotten sandlots, where the remnants of baseball history still endure." --"The Sporting News" "If it doesn't make baseball fans feels as if they've died and gone to heaven, it'll at least get them to Dyersville, Iowa's Field of Dreams, where the set for the movie of the same name attracts thousands." --"USA Today" "What a wonderful book. All the 'stations of the cross' of our national pastime are here, big and small, telling and frivolous. I can imagine this book in the glove compartment of every true fan's car, a handy reference to this beloved game no matter where in the country you are." --Ken Burns, Academy Award-nominated director "I came from Stengel Field in Glendale, Calif., and ended up in the friendly confines of Fenway Park. In between and beyond, I have stood on the same sacred ground of Holman Stadium where Don Newcomb and Roy Campanella played. I have touched the monument of Mickey Cochrane in Bridgewater, Mass. Roadside Baseball is the GPS that takes us to all this and more. You must have it in your glove compartment when you hit the road!" --Bill "Spaceman" Lee "Chris Epting has delivered a stand-up triple (baseball's most exciting play) in "Roadside Baseball" . . . he doesn't miss a beat in the 336-page atlas, loaded with pictures." --"Chicago Sun Times" "One of the best travel books of 2009!" --Los Angeles Times
Reseña del editor
Capturing such quintessentially American pastimes as baseball and road trips in one fascinating work, this updated and expanded guide chronicles more than 500 important events in baseball history with detailed descriptions of the event and information on each location. Packed with historical data, trivia, photographs, and baseball lore, entries include the birthplaces of baseball legends, ballparks, museums and halls of fame, final resting places, and many locations that are no longer standing. From out-of-the-way spots to the most popular stadiums in the U.S. and Canada, no site is too small or insignificant to be included in this comprehensive directory. Entries include the Buckminster Hotel in Boston, where the Black Sox planned their fix of the 1919 World Series; the original little league field and museum in Williamsport, Pennsylvania; the birthplace of Jackie Robinson; the place where Mickey Mantle was discovered by a scout from the New York Yankees; and the site of the original Wrigley Field, erected in Los Angeles in 1925.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
