Description

The book, Let There Be Light : A History of Night Baseball 1880 to 2008 will show the evolutionary process that took 50 years ( 1880 to 1930) before minor league baseball adopted the idea of playing baseballat night. After breaking into the minors, it only took five years before the Majors, grudgingly accepted the idea proposed by Leland "Larry" MacPhailand Powel Crosley to light up Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The book has over 70 photographs,17 documents, diagrams, charts,and letters andover 90pages of history, stories,and events. Theend result is a historyof modern day lighted baseball fields which provide healthy entertainment to millions of people every year.

This is not a book of statistics, but is one which reveals how civilizationand culture develops through hard workand visionary leaders. Thefirst World Series night gamewas played in1971. But, by 1985 every World Series game is playedat night. Night baseball is an eventand is just as exciting as a day game, but much cooler, unless you have anair conditioned stadium. Let's go see a baseball game tonight after work.
