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.
