About this product

Product Information

Cincinnati's Crosley Field presents the field's history through text and more than 150 photographs. The Cincinnati Reds played at Crosley Field from 1912 through 1970, and the ballpark holds an iconic place in the city's history as well as throughout Reds Country. One of the most beloved ballparks in Major League history, Crosley Field played host to the first night game and the first of Johnny Vander Meer's back-to-back no-hitters, as well as four World Series and two All-Star games. From the outfield terrace to the "Moon Deck," from Lombardi's "snooze" to Big Klu's biceps, Blackwell's "whip" to Rose's belly-flop slides, the Redlegs to the Big Red Machine, Cincinnati's Crosley Field has them covered in words and pictures. Greg Rhodes and John Erardi also present the great Negro Leagues teams that played at Crosley, as well as the field's many colorful characters, such as longtime announcer Waite Hoyt and the top-hatted vendor known as Peanut Jim. In April 2009, the Reds' Hall of Fame and Museum opens this season's key exhibit, Crosley Field Remembered, and Cincinnati's Crosley Field will be sold at the team's gift shop as a souvenir.

Portrait of a classic ballpark
Wonderful book about an underrated classic ballpark. Wrigley, Fenway, Ebbets Field get all the nostalgic longing, but Crosley was quirky and cozy, and hosted many great players. This book features lots of photos of players, fans and the stadium itself. The text is fast-moving, although you'll want to linger in the glory days of baseball as portrayed on these pages.

good book
Very nice black and white pictures. I originally got it to hang some black and white pics in the baby's room. It is very interesting, if you are a reds fan. It seems to cost a bit too much. But it was the cheapest I could find.
