<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the rickety to the palatial, ballparks have grown up with and defined baseball in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Some old-timers have vivid memories of cheering for Willie Mays and Roy Campanella at Nicollet and Lexington. Others marveled at a majestic Killebrew home run at the Met. Many a lucky resident celebrated two world championships in the Metrodome and witnessed one of the greatest pitching performances in World Series history. More recently, fans have enjoyed the return of sunshine and even raindrops at Target Field. Described by <i>City Pages</i> as the most respected local baseball historian, Stew Thornley leads a tour of where we--as well as our grandparents and now our children--discovered baseball.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Wisely, Thornley has limited the use of excessive game details which weigh down similar books and avoids this becoming a recap of games. His impeccable research blended with interviews of former players, employees, columnists, and broadcasters offers a wonderful history of Twin Cities ballparks. - <i>The Inside Game</i><br>
