Todd Radom Releases Illustrated Baseball Compendium 'The Ballpark and Beyond'

Graphic designer and sports branding expert Todd Radom has published 'The Ballpark and Beyond', an illustrated compendium blending his lifelong passion for baseball with nearly 40 years of design experience. The book is structured into nine innings, a format he previously used in his 2018 book 'Winning Ugly'. Radom researched, wrote, designed, and narrated the audiobook himself, calling it a fully immersive creative experience. The volume covers varied sub-themes such as 'The Distant Past' and 'Frivolities', with editor Jason Katzman helping organize the content. Radom, a longtime contributor to PRINT Magazine known for his sports branding analyses, describes the project as a love letter to baseball, emphasizing the sport's unique culture and varied stadiums. He notes that the physical book format offers a permanence and user experience distinct from digital media. The book includes both illustrated chapters and text-only sections to allow breathing room.
