Author Description

Minor League ballgames offer a very different experience from the big leagues. The ballparks are much smaller & the players much more accessible. Reasonable ticket prices & between-innings entertainment (dizzy bat races, water balloon tosses) guarantee a fun family outing. Plus, you might get to watch the next Cal Ripken or Derek Jeter play. Ira Rosen spent several seasons traveling the nation to photograph some of the country¿s best Minor League ballparks & interview hundreds of current & former Minor & Major League players, managers, & coaches, broadcasters & writers about life in the Minors. This book covers every level of the Minors, including the Independent Leagues. It¿s the perfect gift for every baseball fan. Photos. Oversize.
