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.
