Review “I read this entire book! Baseball inspires a religious devotion for me and its many followers. This book by Paul Goldberger gives incredible new insights into the cathedrals at which we love to worship it. I am so grateful for it. Thank you, Paul.” â€"Jerry Seinfeld"As a Pulitzer Prizeâ€"winning architecture critic, Paul Goldberger brings scholarship and a discerning eye to these pages. He also brings a thoughtful fan’s appreciation of baseball’s unique appeal and romance. Qualities which are enhanced, or diminished, by ballpark design." â€"Bob Costas“Attractive . . . Probing . . . Goldberger recognizes the baseball park’s singular power to harmonize the nostalgic rural symbolism of green outfields with the urban dynamism of the surrounding modern city . . . For him, Boston’s reverence-inspiring parkâ€"together with Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field and Chicago’s Wrigley Fieldâ€"will forever define a golden era in the construction of American ballparks. But that shines as just one luminous chapter is this amply illustrated history, stretching from the nineteenth-century Union Grounds, on what had been a Brooklyn skating pond, to twenty-first century Oakland Ballpark, with plans for a landscaped roof when completed in 2023.” â€"Bryce Christensen, Booklist (starred review)“For all of the writing about baseball, no one before has accomplished what the brilliant architecture critic Paul Goldberger does in Ballpark. In illuminating detail, he shows how the places where the game is played say as much about the sport and the changing American aesthetic as wins and losses and managers and owners and players.” â€"David Maraniss, Pulitzer prizeâ€"winning author of Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero“A fascinating read for baseball fans, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone with a taste for American history (or hot dogs).” â€"Town & Country“A deep-dive that explores how, with the ‘tension between the natural and the man-made,’ the game’s stadiums evoke the American city and reflect our relationship to our urban setting . . . Goldberger surveys a litany of parks . . . [Ballpark] effects renewed appreciation for an institution that, year after year, commands our rapt attention.” â€"Stephen Ostrowski, Modern Luxury“An excellent book . . . Very well written and amply illustrated . . . I recommend the book very highly for any baseball fan.” â€"Richard Weigel, Bowling Green Daily News “Watching how Dodger Stadium and Angel Stadium have evolved through these times makes far more sense, thanks to Goldberger’s set of intellectual blueprints.” â€"Tom Hoffarth, Farther Off the Wall"There has never been a book on a sports subject that approaches a subject through the historical designs of its playing fields or, surely, does it as well. Through his architectural expertise and with compelling writing skills, Paul Goldberger in Ballpark: Baseball in the American City takes the reader into arenas that embrace unique and pleasurable insights of what is commonly referred to as our national pastime." â€"Ira Berkow“A tour de force that will appeal to devoted baseball fans, architecture devotees, and even casual readers . . . [Goldberger] discusses the evolving designs in terms of the quality of the viewing experience for fans, and he evaluates how each stadium shapes the city around itâ€"and is simultaneously shaped by the characteristics of that particular city . . .The detail of the research, both its breadth and depth, is remarkable. . . . Includes more than 150 illuminating photos scattered throughout the text.” â€"Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“The still evolving story of the park in the city is one that Paul Goldberger tells brilliantly in Ballpark, a book about architecture and engineering and history, certainly, but profoundly about the soul of the game and our imperiled sense of community.” â€"John Thorn, Official Historian, Major League Baseball  "If you love anything about baseball, architecture or the history of modern American citiesâ€"just pick one of the three!â€"you will love Ballpark. Paul Goldberger’s passion for how architecture is an integral part of our everyday lives, along with his elegant writing, makes this book an enchanting tour through time and space, and urban aspirations. I doubt I will ever again sit in a ballpark, or any stadium, without thinking of this book." â€"Douglas Alden, sports historian and author of ESPN’s "The Diary of Myles Thomas" Read more About the Author PAUL GOLDBERGER, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, began his career at The New York Times, where he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism for his writing on architecture.
