Ken Smoller is a Chicago White Sox fan who now lives in the Boston area. His love for baseball started as a kid thanks to fond memories at Comiskey Park, like attending the team’s photo day with his Kodak camera. Ken has now photographed over 2,300 stadiums and ballparks and shares his photos and sports travel experiences on his website, Stadium Vagabond.
He also recently released Last Comiskey, which is a book highlighting the park’s surprising last season. Based on the popular “Last Comiskey” documentary, the book contains over 400 full color photos Ken snapped of the “The Baseball Palace of the World” over the years.
We also chat about the Cubs / Sox rivalry, what separates old from new ballparks, and how finding old ballparks and stadiums provides insight into what sports and the world used to be like.
