Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Coinciding with the 2004 World Series, “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” presented seven panoramic photographs of American League baseball stadiums by Jim Dow. Chosen from a 1982 portfolio of photographs of every American League stadium, these seven represent ball parks that have either been torn down or are no longer used, heightening the grandeur and loneliness of Dow’s images of empty stadiums. The photos are taken from a fan’s vantage point – Dow says, “I’m not interested in making specimens, I’m interested in synthesizing an experience.”
