It was a night that will forever be frozen in baseball time. A night of miracles. A night of magic. A night of heartbreak. A night for the history books. Somebody needed to write a book about that night. Thankfully, Paul Kocak volunteered for the job.

Book Synopsis Baseball Under the Lights by : Charlie Bevis
Download or read book Baseball Under the Lights written by Charlie Bevis. This book was released on 2021-04-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Night games transformed the business of professional baseball, as the smaller, demographically narrower audiences able to attend daytime games gave way to larger, more diversified crowds of nighttime spectators. Many ball club owners were initially conflicted about artificial lighting and later actually resisted expanding the number of night games during the sport's struggle to balance ballpark attendance and television viewership in the 1950s. This first-ever comprehensive history of night baseball examines the factors, obstacles and trends that shaped this dramatic change in both the minor and major leagues between 1930 and 1990.

Book Synopsis Let There Be Light by : Robert B. Payne
Download or read book Let There Be Light written by Robert B. Payne. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.
