What makes a ballpark great?
Steve and Paul dive into Paul Goldberger's architectural history of baseball, titled Ballpark: Baseball in the American City.
They discuss old, urban neighborhood ballparks like Fenway and Wrigley before lamenting the suburban concrete monstrosities of the mid 20th century.
