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

Our family's go to sunblock
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
This is my go to sunblock for my kids. It's mineral so there's obviously a white cast. I don't mind it for kids because I like seeing where I have applied so I don't miss any spots. I've never had a sunburn while using this and I'm not the best about promptly reapplying. The cream is a good thickness and softness. Not so thick and gooey that you hate the feel of it. It doesn't have a terrible smell but just like a standard mineral sunscreen smell. Does require a decent amount of washing/ gentle scrubbing to get it to come off the skin.

Seems to work well, and less toxic than many sunscreens
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
I'm an avid hiker and bought this for me, trying to use less harmful chemicals. Defiantly sticks on thicker and I see residue on the interior of the car, but can clean it up. Seems to stay on well, and work well. And it's not supposed to really disappear into skin. Supposed to sit on surface more. I don't mind having white, obvious, sunscreen. I don't use it in town. Wanted kid ish safe - so it's safer for me.
