"The book ... will show the evolutionary process that took 50 years (1880 to 1930) before minor league baseball adopted the idea of playing baseball at night. After breaking into the minors, it only took five years before the Majors grudgingly accepted the idea proposed by Leland 'Larry' MacPhail and Powel Crosley to light up Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. The book will have 70 photographs, 17 documents, diagrams, charts, and letters and over 90 pages of history, stories, and events. The end result is a history of modern day lighted baseball fields. ... The first World Series night game was played in 1971. But, by 1985, every World Series game is played at night."--Back cover.
