101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out

A brand new edition of the finalist for the 2008 Casey Award, presented annually to the best baseball book, 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out profiles Americaâ€™s greatest baseball museums, shrines, sports bars, pop culture landmarks and ballpark sites. From sandlots and skyboxes to TV rooms and sports bars, Americaâ€™s love for baseball has inspired countless memories, discussions, and tributes. Josh Pahigian takes us across America to explore the places where the gameâ€™s history, culture, and lore come to life.

Whether we travel by car or sit in the comfort of our favorite armchair, the book guides us to 101 amazing baseball placesâ€”including Ted Williamsâ€™ boyhood home, the Field of Dreams movie site, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the Chicago bar where the Cubsâ€™ â€œCurse of the Billy Goatâ€ was born, Babe Ruthâ€™s grave, and scores of other captivating landmarks and curios. Replacing the now-extinct sites from the previous edition, updating entries for attractions that have moved, re-assigning coveted chapters to more inspiring baseball venues that have since opened, and including stunning color photos for nearly all of them, Josh Pahigian has created the perfect gift for any baseball fan.
