The book is awesome. I bought this for my husband, who visits all MLB stadiums whenever he gets a chance. We picked this right away because my husband is a Cardinals fan.

If you are looking for a baseball fan to gift this book, you won 't be sorry. My guy loves baseball, fantasy baseball, stadium tours and stats. I'm tempted to post the message I received when it arrives. It was, as they say, a hit!

Gift
Derived From Web , Sep 26, 2019
This was a gift to my brother - in-law, who is a baseball fanatic. While looking through the book, he discovered a wrongtype at Jarry Park in Montreal, Canada. The date recorded from the existence of Jarry Park is repeated under the name of New Stadium. He found this within 5 minutes of reading the book, so I am not sure if there are any other mistakes in the book.
