Book Reviews of Fodor's Baseball Vacations, 3rd Edition: Great Family Trips to Minor League and Classic Major League Ballparks Across America (Special-Interest Titles)
Book Review: Great premise, great execution, but begs a new edition!!
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, let me preface this review by saying that this is not a three-star review for content. This book is rich with information and heart, and has been thoroughly dog-eared by this reader. I give it three stars because it might not be as helpful to a baseball fan reading the book for the first time in 2006. Much of the information is now terribly out of date (who but the grizzled Marylandians among us would know that the Baltimore Memorial Stadium facade is no longer with us?) just because of the escalating pace of baseball stadium development. I also find it curiously selective in places: why a Dodger Stadium piece but no Angels Stadium? Why no Shea Stadium (aesthetics and the #7 Train ride aside) but an expansive piece on every other stadium in the NYC area?
These are small complaints, and I still recommend highly - but until there is a new edition (and I will be the first in line), trust but verify.
