Privacy Policy

BallparkMagic is committed to protecting your right to privacy. To that end, we collect only the information necessary to serve you as a customer and to improve our web site. We never sell, rent, lease, loan or otherwise disclose any of your personal information under any circumstances to anyone beyond what is required to fulfill of your order.

Information We Collect

The information collected about you is limited to traffic logs and whatever you may enter on an order form or voluntarily disclose in associated communications (email messages, telephone calls, etc.). This includes your name, billing address, shipping addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and method of payment information.

To guard against fraud, we store your IP address and reverse DNS information when you log in to your account.

This information is stored in secure databases and may be accessed only by BallparkMagic employees and agents who are in the process of fulfilling your order. This information is not sold or otherwise disclosed to any party unless it is necessary to answer your questions or fulfill your orders.

Cookies

Cookies are small amounts of information stored by us on your computer through your web browser.

Cookies are not executable code and cannot contain viruses or do any damage to your system. They typically contain information which can uniquely identify you when you load a page. Certain unscrupulous advertisers use cookies to track your movement throughout the web, trying to identify your interests and shopping habits. For this reason, cookies are sometimes considered to be a potential threat to your privacy rights.

BallparkMagic does not use cookies for advertising purposes. We simply use cookies to retain information that may be helpful to you (such as your login ID and the items you've placed in your shopping cart). That allows us to remember you when you return so you do not have to start from scratch.

Enabling cookies is required to place an order through our site.

Javascript

Javascript is a programming language which allows certain functionality to be built into web pages. Javascript can be used maliciously, but its intent is to add functionality which enhances your visit or makes certain tasks easier.

BallparkMagic uses Javascript strictly to make your online ordering experience as simple as possible. Our scripts simply keep track of your order information and to calculate pricing on the fly. In this way you can get an instant estimate of your order cost as you enter it.

Enabling Javascript is not required to view or order through our site, but certain features will not work without it.

Marketing Policies

We hate spam just as much as (or maybe more than) you do. For that reason we do not sell, rent, lease, loan or even show our customer list to anyone.

Further, we do not and will not engage in aggressive marketing techniques ourselves.

If you have had a satisfactory experience with BallparkMagic, we encourage you to pass along our name to your family and friends. This is our preferred method of building our customer base.

Information Sharing

Any information we store about you is available only to BallparkMagic employees and affiliated individuals who are in the process of fulfilling your order. The amount of information shared is limited to exactly the amount necessary to fulfill the task which has been assigned.

In all cases, your information is stored securely, and access is strictly limited to those who need to know.

Scoreboard as viewed from Fifth Street.

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us."

– Walt Whitman

From last week, you can see the piers taking shape. I believe that the front row, visible here as just forms and reinforcing rods, is the front edge of the plaza.

"Now there's three things you can do in a baseball game: You can win or you can lose or it can rain."

The entrance at Gate 3.

"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you. It's the people who are there, day in, day out, that makes the place magic."

– Bernie Williams
