My ballpark book "Rally Caps, Rain Delays and Racing Sausages"!

Hi everyone, I just released my first book and it’s all about Ballpark Chasing, though I didn’t use that term since I came across this site way too late (and it’s not my term anyway!). Literally years in the making, Rally Caps, Rain Delays and Racing Sausages is a chronicle of my trips to all the major-league baseball stadiums over several years and offers a look at baseball teams’ relationships with their fans.

I count 34 major–league parks that I have been to, though I have not been to the current parks in Miami and Minneapolis and counted their old ones in pursuit of this quest, which I finished at the end of the 2011 season.

The book is now available in paperback, for Kindle and the Nook, and will also soon be available for iBooks. For more info, please visit: www.rallyrainsausage.com

The book got a great pre-publication review from Kirkus Reviews, which appears in the October 15th edition of their magazine: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/eric-kabakoff/rally-caps...

I really enjoyed seeing all the different parks over the years and hope to hit more moving forward. And I’ll be able to use this site, which wasn’t available when I could have really used it!

Thanks so much and Happy Chasing!
Eric

Best of luck with your author chat at the HOF! I was in Cooperstown on August 5. I plan to get your book.

Enjoy Cooperstown!

Comment by Eric Kabakoff (35) on June 2, 2014 at 8:12am: There's a new review of my book in Stadium Journey Magazine. I had not previously heard of it. It looks like a great magazine to check out for Chasers, and not just for baseball parks!
