New book traces ballpark evolution
The second iteration of the South End Grounds, where the Boston Braves called home was one of the first iconic double-decker stadiums, and featured witch’s cap turrets as part of the structure. It was home for the Braves until a lit cigarette caused the wooden edifice to burn to the ground. A new grounds was built, but the insurance did not cover the entire cast, and it was scaled down. It is featured in a new book, “Ballpark,” by Paul Goldberger.
New book traces ballpark evolution
The original Polo Grounds was in a more central part of Manhattan before city officials, unhappy with postseason tickets, put a street through the site. It then moved to Coogan’s Bluff, where it became an iconic bathtub shape before demolition in 1964. This photo shows the Giants in the original ballpark circa 1890. Ebbets Field was built in 1912 and was expanded over the years to the look it had in the 1950s. All these and more are part of the new book, “Ballpark,” by Paul Goldberger.
