They created a system to rank all 30 Major League parks based on what matters most to fans. Their 4A system factors in the cost of each park (Affordability), the beauty of the park (Aesthetics), the food, drink and entertainment options (Amenities) and the excitement of the crowd (Atmosphere).

And in this book, they share their rankings and describe each park based on their experience.The book is a great place to start any debate over which city has the best ballpark in baseball. And you'll learn a few things you didn't know about your favorite park as well.
