Josh Pahigian interviewed in ABC News story on baseball parks

An April 2, 2010 story on ABC News.com quoted writer and English Department adjunct faculty member Josh Pahigian at length in a story on America's 7 Best Ballparks. "With the debut of [Oriele Park at] Camden Yards ... there was a movement to combine the best of the old, as far as ballpark architecture, with the modern amenities that fans expect these days," Pahigian said. "There's a nice marriage nowadays, with the comfort that modern facilities provide with the old-time feel, old-time flavor of a ballpark more akin to Ebbets Field, for example." Pahigian is the author of seven books on baseball; his latest is The Seventh Inning Stretch: Baseball's Most Essential and Inane Debates.
