FYI: While I don't agree with Curt Smith's politics, his book, "Storied Stadiums: Baseball's History Through Its Ballparks" is a fascinating read. Yes, he makes some esoteric references, and his style of prose is somewhat rambling at times, but I can identify with it.

He offers up some great anecdotes, and his deep-rooted love of the game is obvious. One of the best features are those marvelous Rockwell-style pics, many of which have been used in prk files for Pure Sim. (See PadresFan's site for these).

I got the book from my local library, and liked it so much that I bought a copy. See this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786709480/103-3099699-9861425?v=glance&n=283155

(Note: I'm glad I jumped on it when I had the chance.)

I'm very happy to now have this volume in my baseball library.

Regards to all,
Glenn
