Review "Proves to be a masterly look at Ebbets Field." --Library Journal "The Zinns [take] on the task of painstakingly recounting or adding to the historical record of Ebbets Field. They are careful historians...[and their] efforts, and those of their collaborators Ellen Snyder-Grenier, James Overmyer, and Ronald Selter, are meticulously footnoted." --SABR Deadball Committee Newsletter "Fans memories, prove to be well worth reading. Each tells an individual story adorned with family tradition, memories of first games attended, and nostalgia for a team that truly was part of the neighborhood." --Nine From the Inside Flap The Ebbets Field volume is the second in McFarland's series on historic ballparks.
