Baseball is more than a game-it is a living chronicle of American history, culture, and imagination. In this richly illustrated and masterfully told collection, celebrated designer and historian Todd Radom blends meticulous research with a designer's eye for detail, breathing new life into stories both well-known and obscure.
InThe Ballpark and Beyond, Radom takes readers on a captivating journey across 150 years of baseball history, weaving together little-known anecdotes, aesthetic curiosities, and the human drama that makes the sport timeless. Here are the tales of ornate nineteenth-century stadiums that looked like castles, the rowdy Baltimore Orioles who pioneered "inside baseball," and the quirky pillbox caps and mascots. Discover the origins of iconic team emblems, the strange saga of a baseball game played at the foot of the Sphinx, and the unforgettable icons-from Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson to Satchel Paige and Ken Griffey Jr.-who helped elevate the game into the national consciousness.
Whether you are a lifelong fan, a student of sports history, or simply someone who appreciates great storytelling, The Ballpark and Beyondoffers a treasure trove of discoveries on every page. It is a love letter to the game and its enduring power to connect generations, stir emotions, and remind us why baseball will always hold a special place in the American imagination.
