AlaMich I wonder how much a ticket to the World Series cost when the Cubbies played the Philadelphia Athletics in 1929? These days you would have to take out a second mortgage. 5y
Leftcoastzen @AlaMich $5.50 Main Grandstand .I looked it up . There is a stub from that series on EBay! 5y
AlaMich @Leftcoastzen Ha!! You can‘t even buy a beer at the park for that anymore! 5y

Yep it was written a long time ago , but Tom Boswells essays on the culture of baseball stands the test of time and shows how baseball is so interwoven into some people‘s lives .Check out those Goodreads reviews filled with love for this book.

Suet624 Love this photo. What team do you follow? 6y
Leftcoastzen @Suet624 I live in Az now so I go to Dbacks games , but a life long Giants fan . 6y
Suet624 I‘m not sure how I missed so many of your posts but I‘ve been enjoying scrolling through them. You have an amazing collection of books. I‘m a Red Sox fan - love going to their games at Fenway. 6y
Leftcoastzen @Suet624 I absolutely adore Fenway , my favorite park. 6y
Suet624 I‘m so glad the owners didn‘t make radical changes when they bought it (years ago now). It‘s such a cozy environment. 6y
