NOTES:
 
    The Sporting News "Take Me Out To The Ball Park" by Lowell Reidenbaugh features profiles of the great major league ballparks, with illustrated drawings and photographs. Ballpark drawings were done by sports cartoonists Amadee Wohlschlaeger, and Gene Mack. Amadee, as he signs his work, was a St. Louis Post Dispatch cartoonist. His work appeared frequently on the pages of the Sporting News. The work of Gene Mack, a cartoonist for the Boston Globe for 35 years, was published in a book by the Sporting News in 1947.

 The Sporting News published large 16 by 22 inch prints featuring the works of Gene Mack and Amadee from the 1983 book "Take Me Out To The Ball Park." The Ballpark prints were made available through the mail for $7.00 each, by using a form provided in The Sporting News. Additional prints were offered at a discount; two prints for $12.00, three prints for $16.00. Additional prints were $3.00 each. Shipping & handling $2.00 per order.

 Each of baseball's most celebrated stadiums in this series, contains facts, quips, and anecdotes. The "Yankee Stadium, New York" as it's titled on the print at the bottom, reads; "Seating Capacity 57,545 - First Game April 18, 1923" below. To the left reads; "Copyright 1990, The Sporting News Publishing Company"

 Four New York Yankee players are depicted in sketched portraits, in each corner of the print. Top left corner; "Joltin' Joe DiMaggio Started his 56 game hitting streak here, May 15. 1941" Top Right corner; "Babe Ruth 'Sultan Of Swat': 714 life time homers, 690 career slugging average, 60 home runs in '27, 177 runs scored in '21" Bottom left corner; "Mickey Mantle - Mantle hits 500th career homer, May 14, 1967" Bottom right corner; Lou Gehrig Day, July 4, 1939... "... Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth"

 The print which has a gold-line inner border, plus a blue-gray mat design, also features; Casey Stengel, Mr. October Reggie Jackson, White Sox Tom Seaver 300th win game, Roger Maris, and more. This print is also featured on the dust jacket. Some of the other 35 ballpark prints include; Arlington Stadium, Comiskey Park, Fenway Park, Memorial Stadium, Shibe Park, Shea Stadium, by Amadee, and Braves Field, Ebbets Field, Forbes Field, Griffith Stadium, Polo Grounds, and Sportsman's Park, by Gee Mack.
