1.0 out of 5 stars Where's The Rest of It, July 31, 2000
By "purplemoose" (West Chester, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
I was very disappointed in this book. Only 24 stadiums are reviewed with very little insight or background on what makes each ballpark special. The best pictures (and there are only a few that qualify)are split across two pages. Classic ballparks such as Crosley Field are ignored yet Miller Field in Milwaukee which isn't even finished is presented. While this is my first purchase on the subject of baseball parks, I certainly hope there are better choices out there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, June 20, 2004
By John Lander (New York City) - See all my reviews
I have purchased every book on baseball stadiums I can get my hands on. I have 10 different books on the subject and this one is by far and away the least informative of each one. The potential existed for Von Goeben to do a very nice book on the history of baseball stadiums, yet he chose the easy way out and did a book on the subject. Some authors take pride in their work and if Von Goeben takes pride in this one he should be ashamed of himself. Perhaps three or four pictures I have never seen before are in this book, all others are ones he regurgitated
from other vastly superior baseball stadium books. Save your money and purchase better books on baseball stadiums such as "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL PARK" by Josh Leventhal (Make sure you get the updated Leventhal book) and "AMERICAS BALLPARKS" by New York City Firefighter Kenneth Hogan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything the other Ballpark books have and more, June 10, 2000
By John Lander (Brooklyn - True Home of the Dodgers) - See all my reviews
I figured it would take a great deal to surpass Bill Shannon's classic "The Ballparks",and I was correct. This book covers everything the other Ballpark books have done only this time they have carried the torch even further. From "The B.O.B." in Arizona to rickity old relics like Hilltop Park, they are all there for you viewing pleasure. Nice job guys!
