"The View from the Stands" is both the story of one fan's love of
the game and an examination of the effect baseball has had on fans
everywhere throughout its history. A collection of stories and
insights compiled during the summer of 2002 in each of MLB's thirty
parks, "The View from the Stands" provides us with the fans'
perspective on every team and stadium in the league, and on the
most important issues currently affecting the game. It gives a
voice to the masses of people who fill our stadiums, and it
explains how a child's game became the business it is today.
This book examines the entire experience of live baseball, from
the uncomfortable seats to the misplaced marketing ventures to the
incredible feeling of seeing Bonds circle the bases. Baseball
touches our lives in so many unexpected ways. By introducing us to
the little boys who rush to the edge of the stands in Wrigley, the
recovering alcoholic who found a new family at the Metrodome, and
many others from all walks of life, "The View from the Stands"
tells the story of our love of the game--what draws us in and what
keeps us coming back for more.
