Winner of the 2005 Dave Moore Award Generations after its demise, Ebbets Field remains the single most colorful and enduring image of a baseball park, with a treasured niche in the game's legacy and the American imagination. In this lively story of sports, politics, and the talented, hilarious, and charming characters associated with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Bob McGee chronicles the ballpark's vibrant history from the drawing board to the wrecking ball, beginning with Charley Ebbets and the heralded opening in 1913, on through the eras that followed. McGee weaves a story about how Ebbets Field's architectural details, notable flaws, and striking facade brought Brooklyn and its team together in ways that allowed each to define the other. Drawing on original interviews and letters, as well as published and archival sources, The Greatest Ballpark Ever explores the struggle of Charley Ebbets to build Ebbets Field, the days of Wilbert Robinson's early pennant winners, the eras of the Daffiness Boys, Larry MacPhail, and Branch Rickey, the tumultuous field leadership of Leo the Lip, the fiery triumph of Jackie Robinson, the golden days of the Boys of Summer, and Walter O'Malley's ignominious departure. With humor and passion, The Greatest Ballpark Ever lets readers relive a day in the raucous ballpark with its quirky angles and its bent right-field wall, with the characters and events that have become part of the nation's folklore.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Shoes by Asics
Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Piedmont Grey/Black
Comfortable and durable as heck; classic Asics quality. I love the casual appearance of it, which means I can wear it on a daily basis too. True to the size.

Excellent for a 4E wide foot!
Size: 9 X-Wide, Color: Piedmont Grey/Black
As a female with a wide foot, it is very hard to find a good, comfortable shoe for walking, running and hiking. These were immediately comfortable and really didn't require a break in, although they are more comfortable after a few days of use. My 1st day I put about 5 miles on them and they were great. The cushion isn't like a cloud, but it's there and very responsive. These are very supportive and breathable. I have gone on a few Easy to moderate hikes with them and they're just fine for a dryer trail. They have good grip for rocks as well. 10/10 for these! I will also add that I underpronate, and these provide wonderful stability for that.

Great comfort, but not built for long-term daily use
Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White, Size: 9.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White
I've had this shoe for almost a year now. I use it almost daily on a walking pad while working from home, plus as a gym shoe. After nearly a year of this routine, I've noticed considerable wear on the sole.
Don't get me wrong: the shoe is great and very comfortable, looks decent, and fits great at the start, and has good breathability. However, that comfort has started to fade as the shoe has worn down. Gel-Contends 9 is a really good shoe, but definitely not a long-term, heavy-use shoe. Perfect for casual or rotation use, occasional runs, but don't expect it to last 12+ months of daily wear.

Great shoe

Probably one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought. Great for walking on concrete. Light weight and cool and comfortable
