Josh Pahigian is lead columnist on new ESPN.com basball park series

Josh Pahigian, adjunct faculty member in the Department of English and Language Studies, is the lead columnist for a new ESPN.com series on the fan experience at different big league baseball parks. The series is called Hardball Havens. The first column of the series by Pahigian is titled "'Like having 81 football games a year'- Tailgating at Miller Park is uniquely Milwaukee ... as are brats, beers and big, bad bikes."

"When it comes to baseball in the Brew City, the pregame ritual is all about the tailgate," Pahigian writes. "The aroma of simmering brats fills the air, while fans sip their favorite local brew and toss the pigskin or horsehide around." Read the entire column.

Pahigian is the author of seven baseball books, including 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out and The Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip, which he co-authored with his friend Kevin O'Connell.
