The American Game: A Celebration of Minor League Baseball

Beautifully illustrated book of the best minor league ball parks in the country. You can almost hear the crack of the bat, smell the hot dogs and feel the warmth of a summer evening. Ira Rosen has captured the essence of what makes minor league baseball such an important part of American culture.

Photographs, statistics, player statements, and ties to the major leagues; this book has it all! The author has expanded on his first book, Blue Skies, Green Fields: A Celebration of 50 Major League Baseball Stadiums with a comprehensive collection of minor league ballparks and their teams. He has really done his homework on the minors, with history, organization, and players from each team who moved on to the majors. Highly recommend both books for every baseball fan.

Enjoyed this author's first book and enjoyed his second one even more! Great pictures with great interviews of present and past ballplayers with their memories of minor league parks. Can spend days looking through this great book filled with so many great pictures. Enjoy as I did!
