Neither a children’s book nor a diehard’s reference, this promotional tool for Major League Baseball is a large legal-sized hardcover with a dozen pages of text and color photos that range from the iconic to the chest-bumping. The third in a series, preceded by Fenway and The Mets’ Citi Field(!?), “Wrigley Field: A Ballpark Pop-Up Book” contains Wrigley history, significant Cubs games and milestones, stats, non-baseball moments, team leaders and a pop-up of the field that, aside from the scoreboard and lights, looks pretty generic. It’s interesting but not impressive. Let’s hope for more on the field this season. (Robert Duffer)
