Roadside Baseball: The Locations of America's Baseball Landmarks

,
I used to do something similar to this for my travels. Typically, I'd go visit the grave of a Hall of Famer or see where an old stadium used to be.

How cool to see I'm not the only crazy out there. And how much more Chris Epting has been able to put together than I ever could (and how much work he's saved me!). Here are some faves:

- The sandlot where Mickey Mantle was discovered (in Baxter Springs, OK)
- An historical marker for a ballfield where Abe Lincoln once played town ball
- The pond where Babe Ruth pushed his piano onto the ice
- All that's left of the Polo Grounds (a hidden stairway)
- The original Little League field
- Where Ron Necciai's 27-strikeout game happened

A couple of nits:

- Joe Jackson is from Greenville SC, not NC
- Lefty O'Doul was a hitter, not a pitcher

There were also a fair amount of typos. No biggee, though, for such a great book.
