"Ebbets Field was a narrow cockpit, built of brick and iron and concrete, alongside a steep cobblestone slope of Bedford Avenue.
Two tiers of grandstand pressed the playing area from three sides, and in thousands of seats fans could hear a ball player’s chatter, notice details of a ball player’s gait and, at a time when television had not yet assaulted illusion with the Zoomar lens, you could see, you could actually see, the actual expression on the actual face of an actual major leaguer as he played. You could know what he was like!
In the intimacy of Ebbets Field, it was a short trip from the grandstand to the fantasy you were in the game.
When the wind blew from the south and the French doors had been opened, the sound of cheering carried from Ebbets Field into our apartment.
It was astonishing, to hear cheers from a major league crowd while sitting at home."
