Best baseball-related reading I’ve done this weekend is this thoughtful rejoinder to Paul Goldberger’s book by Ben Schulman. A taste:

in the rush to (re)capture an assumed past, has some of the gameโ€™s personality been lost? Did the โ€œugly eraโ€ of concrete donuts produce a more vibrant cultural space for the gameโ€™s character and expressiveness, and perhaps produce a more vibrant game?

An oft-used argument against Modernism was that it deadened the places in which it took root. And while this was often the case of the relationship of the concrete donut to its surroundings, flanked as it was by acres of asphalt for parking, a brief read of baseballโ€™s material culture at the time indicates otherwise.

The concrete donut era brought baseball Rollie Fingersโ€™ mustache, clad in the Aโ€™s gold-and-green, who would sometimes clash, in every sense of the word, in technicolor contests with the electric orange Orioles, when Jim Palmer wasnโ€™t modeling his Jockeys. It was when, with baseballโ€™s frontiers settled, room was made for the San Diego Chicken and Morgana, the Kissing Bandit and big, vocal personalities like Dock Ellis and Bill โ€œSpacemanโ€ Lee, who spoke truth to power from mounds in the middle of modern baseball bunkers, wearing uniforms that were as yellow as a crayon and so flamboyant as to appear foreign. Much of this territory, at least focused on the 1970s, is covered by Dan Epsteinโ€™s Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging โ€˜70s, and much of the material changes are reflective of larger bohemian ideals seeping into the mainstream.

Schulman expands on this connection of culture, design, and the game since Camden Yards was built, and connects the concrete donuts to aspects of play that we have lost of late. (Which is funny, as concrete donut GRF has usually been in the upper half of homer havens this century.) Definitely recommended if you enjoyed reading Ballpark and enjoy architectural history debates.
