Wrigley Field by Stuart Shea
In spring 1914, a new ballpark opened in Chicago. The park would soon be known as Wrigley Field, one of the most emblematic and controversial baseball stadiums in America. In this book, the author provides a detailed chronicle of this living historic landmark. It shows how the stadium has evolved through the years.
"This is the story of how ordinary old Wrigley Field became Wrigley Field, baseball mecca and tourist trap, a ballpark populated by dreams and drunksIt takes a Chicago native and baseball scholar like Shea, a North Sider who has lived and died with the Cubs for three decades, to write this outstanding history of one of baseball's crown jewels." (Gary Gillette, editor of The Baseball Encyclopedia)"
Stuart Shea is coeditor of The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, The Emerald Guide to Baseball, and Who's Who in Baseball and coauthor of Big League Ballparks. He lives in Chicago, twenty-four blocks north of Wrigley Field.
