SynopsisThink back to those amazingly languid summers of your childhood, when in the heat of the day you followed the game on a distant radio, watched the pros on the living-room TV, or cheered your local heroes at the hometown ballpark. Ernest Thayer's classic tale of baseball hopes and dreams comes to life like never before with LeRoy Neiman's lush, meticulously detailed charcoal drawings and an original introduction by Yankees manager Joe Torre, considered by many to be the greatest baseball manager of all time. These illustrations - a rare departure from the vibrantly colored paintings that made LeRoy Neiman famous - evoke Mudville's beloved Casey in images that are muscular, immediate, and unmistakably American. A volume of matchless artistry, this edition of Casey at the Bat is a treasure for all generations., Think back to those amazingly languid summers of your childhood, when in the heat of the day you followed the game on a distant radio, watched the pros on the living-room TV, or cheered your local heroes at the hometown ballpark.

A beautifully illustrated Casey at the Bat
This is a beautiful book with paintings by Leroy Neiman. The classic poem of Casey at the bat has been a favorite of mine - and many other young ball players - since I remember hearing it being read as a child just starting to play in Little League. The signed copy by the artist is a huge plus that makes it even more special. That the package was of two books - one signed, one not - allows me to read one copy to my grandkids while keeping one in pristine condition. Highly recommended to anyone who remembers the poem from a day gone by and wishes to share it with the young generation today.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
