Updated poster, in time for Christmas giving!


We’ve updated our popular TOURING THE MAJORS® poster, just in time for you to give it to the baseball fan in your life for Christmas!

It’s hot off the presses! The poster is updated with a graphic of the new Texas Rangers retractable-roof stadium that opens on March 31, 2020, as well as 20+ changes to the reference tables in the bottom left-hand corner. Here you can learn each ballpark’s seating capacity, year opened and dimensions.

Plus the poster includes a brand-new feature: baseball landmarks! By popular demand, the updated edition shows the locations of some of America’s best-known attractions, like Cooperstown’s Hall of Fame, Dyersville, Iowa’s Field of Dreams movie site (where MLB will be playing a regular-season game in August 2020), the Jackie Robinson Museum that opens shortly in Manhattan, Denver’s National Ballpark Museum, Williamsport, PA’s Little League World Series, the Negro Leagues Museum in KC and Omaha’s College World Series.

Even with all of these additions, there’s no increase in the price: it’s still just $19.95, plus shipping. If you want it autographed by publisher Joe Mock, that can be done for free.

It’s available now, so place your order right away!

Preview of Rangers’ Globe Life Field


We were given an exclusive tour of the construction site of Globe Life Field, the retractable-roof ballpark that the Texas Rangers will occupy in March 2020. At this point, the project is more than 80% compete, which let us get a really good feel for how the finished product will look.

Check out our photo essay. The park includes many features that will become instant fan favorites. You’ll even see the first-of-its-kind “Pope Bubble.”

26 Seasons of Memories


It stands like a palace on top of a hill. Globe Life Park has been the home of the Texas Rangers for 26 seasons, and now it’s about to host its final baseball games.

We prepared an article for USA TODAY that focused on the favorite memories of six men who know the place inside out. A beat writer. Its PA announcer. The team’s Hall Of Fame broadcaster. The nationally known blogger. Its longtime groundskeeper. And the team’s beloved former player/former General Manager/current TV color analyst.

Due to the space constraints of print media, we had to limit the recollections of each of these knowledgeable and interesting people in the published article. However, we received permission to post an unabridged version of the article here. It’s twice as long as the print version, which means a lot more memories from these fascinating folks!

So check out our full version of the article 26 Seasons of Memories at Globe Life Park and the accompanying Biggest Moments in Globe Life Park’s History.
