Baseball Stadiums: Photo in New Book

Since I started this blog, I've begun to interact with a lot of other baseball bloggers.  I've referenced some of them in my posts like Craig Wieczorkiewicz (Twitter: @MWLtraveler) and Malcolm MacMillan (Twitter: @BallparkGuide), and most people know about MiLB.com's Ben Hill (Twitter: @bensbiz).  In addition to interacting with these other bloggers, I've also made interacted and wrote about a baseball travel writer who has written numerous books about visiting Major League and Minor League stadiums: Josh Pahigian (Twitter: @joshpahigian).  You can find an inventory of all his books on Amazon.com here.

Last April, he contacted me about his latest project and asked if he could include a photo I took of a biscuit when I visited and blogged about my trip to see the Montgomery Biscuits in 2012 in the book (read about that visit here).  That book came to fruition this spring, so it felt appropriate to share that my blogging work has resulted in something I created appearing in print.

While I'm not making money off the publication, if you enjoy attending baseball games you should check out Pahigian's The Amazing Baseball Adventure: Ballpark Wonders from the Bushes to the Show.  You can find it on Amazon.com here.

You can find my photo and Josh's write-up about what makes eating a biscuit at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala., unique at #95 in his list.

My photo featured prominently next to a write-up about eating a biscuit.

I hope some seamheads enjoy the photo and write-up.  It is really cool to see my work picked up by another writer.
