No sport’s fans are more in touch with the history and ephemera of their
game than baseball fans. Hitting the sweet spot of our national
pastime, The Baseball Fan’s Bucket List presents a list of 162
“absolute must” things to do, see, get, and experience before you kick
the bucket. Entries range from visiting Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ
(site of the first pro baseball game), to starting a baseball card
collection; experiencing Opening Day; attending your favorite team’s
Fantasy Camp; reading classic books like Ball Four, and much
more! Each entry includes interesting facts, entertaining trivia, and
practical information about the activity, item, or travel destination.
With today’s tabloid stories of
steroid abuse and off-the-field shenanigans encroaching on baseball’s
idyllic charm, this unique guidebook encourages readers to celebrate all
that’s good about being a fan.
Bainbridge Island author Robert Santelli’s first passion is baseball, although he is better known
as the New York Times bestselling author of The Bob Dylan
Scrapbook and Greetings from E Street: The Story of Bruce
Springsteen and the E Street Band, among other music titles. He has
also written articles for Memories and Dreams, the magazine of
the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He is the Executive Director of the
Grammy® Museum in Los Angeles, and was previously the VP of the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. He divides his time between Los Angeles and Bainbridge Island.
