Was fun to watch and a lot of great clips.Absolutely love this DVD. I had the VHS tape from around 1988/1989 and love the updated version. This was filled around 1989 after it was decided to tear down Comiskey Park. Later Tiger Stadium was torn down which only leaves 2 of the classics. I watch this every February right before Spring Training starts to get the juices flowing for another season. As a die hard Cubs fan and love of stadiums from all sports (seen 41 different baseball stadiums), this DVD is a must. The interviews at the end are spot on. I think it was Tom Boswell who said "if the stadium needs skyboxes, then build the damn skyboxes". Do what it takes to keep the stadium instead of building another one. Fortunately both Boston and Chicago (cubs) listened. Really wish I had seen a game at Comiskey.Made in 1988. I loved the footage and the interviews and the details. Also the Extras. Very happy to have seen it; will see it again.Jeff Daniels did a fine job narrating the histories of Fenway Park in Boston, Briggs Stadium (Tiger Stadium) in Detroit, WrigleyField and Comiskey Park in Chicago. I enjoyed it very much. It reminded me of an earlier presentation of "Once There WasA Ballpark" narrated by Martin Sheen which covered a history of many ballparks. I have it on VHS. I don't think that it wasever released on DVD. I recommend America's Classic Ballparks for anyone with an interest in these fabled ballparks.I like Jeff Daniels so his narration here was an added plus. I primarily bought this to see the segment on Tiger Stadium, the former Briggs Stadium that I grew up attending as a boy in Detroit. Memories and all that.Bought this as a Christmas gift, and the recipient loved it. Product came as advertised and in mint condition. Overall, very satisfied and would purchase again from this seller.good information about each ballpark but dated in the presentation even though it was just released in 2009 - it had to be filmed in the late 80s when Comiskey and Tiger Stadium were still open. Each segment is about 20 minutes and provides a decent summary and inoformation about each of the 4 parks.Very good DVD on old ball parks.80 bucks!! What a robbery.One disc.80 Buckz!Caught me not checking the cost.never purchase again from such a thief
