Will From jacket flap: "When Baltimore's baseball palace, Camden Yards, opened on April 6, 1992, baseball, professional sports in general, and the fate of American cities entered a new era. No one could have foreseen the impact the ballpark would have. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has since called Camden Yards he single most important change in the game in the past 25 years... The story of the Camden Yards ballpark is a drama of people as well as place. The cast of characters includes Larry Lucchino, former Orioles president, who had the vision to build a tradition, old-fashioned ballpark... Peter Angelos, the forceful and controversial Orioles owner... Cal Ripken and his unfailing quest to foster the best spirit of the game simply by being there; Eric Davis, who found a private battle that became a public drama with a happy outcome; and ...Davey Johnson who gamely fought some battles for the players and for himself - but in baseball, on or off the field, you don't always win."
