July 10, 2019 – Last night, Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game was played here in Cleveland on a beautiful summer night. Progressive Field looked great, which ties in nicely with the article, “How Concrete And Steel Built Baseball,” by Vince Guerrieri. It chronicles how in the early part of the 20th century, ballparks became bigger, fancier and sturdier, with wooden edifices being replaced by new steel-and-concrete facilities. The article also contains reference to Cleveland’s own Frank Osborn, founder of famed bride-building contractor Osborn Engineering. Enjoy.
