I’m fan about old baseball stadiums. Reading about their history, viewing what little photographs we have of them.
Chris Epting has put together a cool slideshow video of old photographs of historic baseball stadiums in their heyday and then comparing them with current photographs of the locations of where once stood. Sort of like VH1’s Where are they Now? but more depressing.
Sappy, sentimental, but poignant too for us amateur baseball historians.
Epting is the author of Roadside Baseball: The Locations of America’s Baseball Landmarks which I haven’t read yet but it is on my “to-get” list.
