This graphic describes the evolution of ballpark design and construction from the formation of the National League in 1876 through the beginning of the 2006 Major League season. It includes eighty-five ballparks profiled across four distinct generations of design including:
- Pre-Classic (1870s - 1900s)
- Classic (1900s - 1950s)
- Modern (1950s - 1990s)
- Retro (1990s to present day)
The graphic includes four illustrations, each approximately 6 by 5 inches, commissioned by HistoryShots. In addition, the print contains summary tables, a diagram that maps the four waves of ballpark construction, a timeline delinating key events that triggered each wave of construction, illustrations of the first park for each generation and diagrams of field dimensions and seating structures.
