Winner of the 2005 Dave Moore Award Generations after its demise, Ebbets Field remains the single most colorful and enduring image of a baseball park, with a treasured niche in the game's legacy and the American imagination. In this lively story of sports, politics, and the talented, hilarious, and charming characters associated with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Bob McGee chronicles the ballpark's vibrant history from the drawing board to the wrecking ball, beginning with Charley Ebbets and the heralded opening in 1913, on through the eras that followed. McGee weaves a story about how Ebbets Field's architectural details, notable flaws, and striking facade brought Brooklyn and its team together in ways that allowed each to define the other. Drawing on original interviews and letters, as well as published and archival sources, The Greatest Ballpark Ever explores the struggle of Charley Ebbets to build Ebbets Field, the days of Wilbert Robinson's early pennant winners, the eras of the Daffiness Boys, Larry MacPhail, and Branch Rickey, the tumultuous field leadership of Leo the Lip, the fiery triumph of Jackie Robinson, the golden days of the Boys of Summer, and Walter O'Malley's ignominious departure. With humor and passion, The Greatest Ballpark Ever lets readers relive a day in the raucous ballpark with its quirky angles and its bent right-field wall, with the characters and events that have become part of the nation's folklore.Binding Type: Paperback

Heavy linen, lined dress
Size: Medium, Color: White
Nice heavy linen. Lined. Has a zipper. Great quality dress. If you like pockets, this dress has them. The skirt is full at the bottom. I would prefer to have less material. The pockets are right at the hip, this is not helpful for those with hips as it adds weight and I am tall and have a nice hourglass shape, but am not looking to have bigger hips . But beautiful dress.

A beautiful dress
Size: Medium, Color: Red Rose Floral
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I absolutely love this dress. It is the first item of clothing I have purchased from Amazon that I haven't had to send back.
The sizing is spot on. This dress is indeed 100% linen. The workmanship is great. It is truly a beautiful dress and it brought me many compliments.

Beautiful & comfortable summer dress
Size: XX-Large, Color: Whisper White/Black Polka Dot
Beautiful summer dress! I’m very busty, so I really appreciate the stretchy material on the back. The shoulder straps are adjustable, with a button cleverly hidden on the inside where they attach, and the side zipper is perfect. It keeps my bust from straining the dress when i’m putting it on. The pockets are definitely a bonus! The fabric is a bit light, but it has an underlining that doesn’t affect the fit. I don’t see a tag besides the size label, but it feels like cotton. I love it and think it’s worth the price. Hopefully, it stays just as nice after washing. I plan on buying the black one too.

Defective and see through.
Size: Medium, Color: White
For such an expensive linen dress, it should have no issues. It's see through on top and had snags in the bodice front. Also one of the stitchings over a breast seamed a little crooked. Zipper is OKAY. Does have pockets. Is a sturdy feeling breathable material but even covers would show through. I'm 5'9" and the Bodice part came low enough for me which is really rare and was very flattering. I got a medium for bust room so it was just a smidge loose in the waist but not bad enough that I wouldn't have kept it if it didn't have big snags in front. For being $90 it should absolutely not be see through.
