Ballpark Nouveau
To any publisher out there looking for a cool book to put into the baseball section of the bookstore, do I have a ballpark book for you. Started in 2000, Ballpark Nouveau profiles the many retro baseball facilities built since Baltimore's Camden Yards at Oriole Park opened in 1992, reigniting interest in baseball and reinventing whole cities with revived fashion and vigor. This book thoroughly documents each of these ballparks' aesthetic, political and logistical histories through stylish visuals and substantive content. The spreads above are from the "sample chapter" that profiles Seattle's Safeco Field.
