Road-Tripping to America’s Ballparks with Travis Parker
For many Americans, a baseball team's ballpark is as important to its identity as the players on the field: When we think baseball, we also think Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Travis Parker is a ballpark guru who writes about the evolution, design, and eternal cultural appeal of ballparks that makes die-hard fans yearn to "see them all." Together, we take a tour through America's ballpark history, tracing how baseball went from glorified cow pastures to modernist structures, like Miami's loanDepot Park — with stops at iconic stadiums like Polo Grounds, Wrigley Field, and the Astrodome along the way.
