Never heard of it. Let me know your thoughts if you end up buying it!

Craig, I did decide to buy the book, with shipping cost me $34.  The book has a listing of current stadiums, including college, as well as stadiums that are no longer in use, or have been demolished.  Though I have just browsed through the book, I have already found several stadiums I didn't know about, and am now thinking about going to visit.  There are photos for most of the stadiums and diagrams showing the stadium "footprint".  The stadiums are listed alphabetically, which I would have preferred separation based on the level of play, since stadium names often change with sponsorship deals.  For me, I think it was worth the money.  I can't wait until I have more time to go through it.

I really enjoyed this book. It is not the kind of book you can just sit down and read from start to finish but it is awesome to flip through. There are tons of photos and little blurbs about each of the featured ballparks. My only complaint was that there were not indices listing the ballparks by state, playing level or whether the park is still in use.

This minor complaint was quickly remedied, however, when I visited the author’s website (the aforementioned www.digitalballparks.com) and found the lists I wanted and tons more photos and ballpark information than could have ever been packed into a single-volume book.

The author and his wife are apparently hardcore chasers.
