Críticas

"The definitive book on the venerated Cleveland baseball venue."--Nineteenth Century Notes; "[T]he authors have created a well-documented and carefully constructed history of a ballpark, a fan base, and a community...a loving search to explain why the ballpark deserves a worthy place in history. Krsolovic and Fritz do excellent detective work, exploiting primary sources and a mix of histories to present a chronological understanding of the importance of early ballparks to any geographic area, and to those who reside there"--SABR Deadball Committee Newsletter; "a well-researched look at one of major-league baseball's quirkier ballparks...generously sprinkled with vintage black-and-white photos of the park"--The Tampa Tribune.

Reseña del editor

This is a comprehensive history of League Park, primary home field for Major League Baseball in Cleveland from 1891 to 1946. The site boasts significant history beyond the majors, including the National Football League, Negro League baseball, college football and boxing, and has experienced an uncanny multitude of amazing events and people, although that history has heretofore gone largely unrecognized. This chronicle allows for these grounds to take their place among the more heralded parks of baseball's past and present. Perhaps the most unique feature of the site is that is has survived to this day as a baseball grounds, with renovations of the site scheduled to begin in the spring of 2012.
