Stuart Shea is coeditor of The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, The Emerald Guide to Baseball, and Who's Who in Baseball and coauthor of Big League Ballparks. He lives in Chicago, twenty-four blocks north of Wrigley Field.
Home of the Cubs, world's greatest ballpark, Chicago's largest beer garden, bucket list-worthy tourist attraction, field of (broken) dreams, enduring monument to enduring failure--Wrigley Field is all of these things, and of course so much more. Stuart Shea's witty, informative, and deeply entertaining book gives the Friendly Confines the tribute it deserves. --Dan Epstein, author of Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball
