Ballparks Then and Now is a fascinating exploration of ballparks across America. Packed with archival and modern photography, this book documents the development of America’s national pastime by looking at the fields of dreams on which it is played.

The ballpark experience has changed dramatically from baseball’s early days on grassy lots with wooden grandstands and free admission. The Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York, is considered by many historians to be the first ballpark ever built, when William Cammeyer decided to use the Union Skating Pond as grounds for baseball games in 1862. When the first professional leagues were formed in 1871, enterprising owners began to invest in the creation of luxurious wooden palaces such as the Grand Pavilion in Boston and Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. The first steel-and-concrete ballpark was Shibe Park in Philadelphia, built in 1909, which housed a record number of 20,000 paying customers and set the standard in ballpark design for the next fifty years. The cookie-cutter ballparks of the 1960s and 1970s have largely been replaced by newer retro designs that give each park its own unique feel and have re-established ballparks as a vital part of urban America.

This beautiful, information-packed deck--a bucket list for the serious angler and introduction for the novice--is an encyclopedia yet smaller than a fly box.

The trout of North America range from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Arctic Circle to the mountains of Western Mexico. With the passion of an angler and the stunning attention to detail of a field scientist, artist James Prosek journeyed thousands of miles through the United States, Canada and Mexico to depict nearly 60 subspecies of North American trout.

Those works are now reproduced here, detailing the diversity and brilliant range of colors in the species in vivid watercolors. On the back of each card is an informative description of that trout, including its region and distinctive markings. Each card offers the experience of standing in a clear stream with a seasoned guide at your side to explain what makes each trout special.

No other card deck shows all of the popular varieties, much less the rare, exotic, and in some cases extinct species and subspecies, including char; Apache, Gila, and Mexican trout; rainbow, redband, and golden trout; cutthroat trout; brown trout; and Atlantic salmon.
