The mystique of Wrigley Field perhaps America s most celebrated ballpark and among the most controversial comes under the microscope in Stuart Shea s meticulous examination of its history, culture, and meaning. Both loving and cold-eyed, Shea s history digs into the fiscal maneuverings that led to the rise and fall of various ownership regimes (and the decade upon decade of on-field failure), and it details the physical changes to the park over time. Shea elaborates on the cultural and social transformations evident in the evolution of Wrigley, tying them to changes in national food and alcohol cultures, labor relations, and conceptions of urban identity. Next year marks Wrigley s 100th anniversary. "
