Cincinnati's Crosley Field: The Illustrated History of a Classic Ballpark
Crosley Field
and another Rhodes-Erardi production,
Big Red Dynasty
, were honored among the top baseball books in the country by
Spitball
literary magazine and the Society for American Baseball Research. They also co-authored
First Boys of Summer
and
Opening Day
. Rhodes' other books are
Redleg Journal, Reds in Black and White,
and
Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame Highlights
. Erardi's other book, Pete Rose: 4,192, sole 50,000 copies.
Cincinnati's Crosley Field
presents the field's history through text and more than 150 photographs. The Cincinnati Reds played at Crosley Field from 1912 through 1970, and the ballpark holds an iconic place in the city's history as well as throughout Reds Country. One of the most beloved ballparks in Major League history, Crosley Field played host to the first night game and the first of Johnny Vander Meer's back-to-back no-hitters, as well as four World Series and two All-Star games.
From the outfield terrace to the "Moon Deck," from Lombardi's "snooze" to Big Klu's biceps, Blackwell's "whip" to Rose's belly-flop slides, the Redlegs to the Big Red Machine,
Cincinnati's Crosley Field
has them covered in words and pictures. Greg Rhodes and John Erardi also present the great Negro Leagues teams that played at Crosley, as well as the field's many colorful characters, such as longtime announcer Waite Hoyt and the top-hatted vendor known as Peanut Jim. In April 2009, the Reds' Hall of Fame and Museum opens this season's key exhibit, Crosley Field Remembered, and
Cincinnati's Crosley Field
will be sold at the team's gift shop as a souvenir.
