Joe Mock's Ballpark Guide
Joe Mock's love for ballparks prompted him to write Joe Mock's Ballpark Guide. For this, baseball fans, ballpark fans, and casual fans of our national pastime should be thankful.
Mock has attended baseball games in all thirty of the Majors' current parks, visited every team's spring-training stadium, and over 100 Minor League parks. Armed with that knowledge he has put together a comprehensive guide with realistic information about each park that includes his "likes and dislikes" in a down to earth / useful format. |

"It has become an invaluable resource for us in our travels across America. What a thrill it was to run into Joe Mock at Brooklyn's fabulous KeySpan Park and be able to compare notes witha master ballpark guy." - Bruce Adams & Margaret Engel (of Fodor's Baseball Vacations)
