Major League Ballparks

Thirty Major League clubs, thirty ballparks, one guide each. Every guide covers the ballpark itself — where it stands, when it opened, and the names it has carried — and then the places around it that the research confirmed: bars, restaurants, markets, museums, parks and historic districts. Where no walkable district could be established from a source, the guide says so instead of inventing one. Start with the ballpark you know.
