I really DO know how to spell! I hit the button too fast–a classic mistake. Good grief.

“100th Anniversary” is a real classic, and you’re right. Combining the All-American pastime with Rockwell can only make for a happy outcome, right?

‘Baseball Catcher’. Great cover and a little un-Leyendecker like I suppose compared to the elaborate and sculputured covers more associated with his work overall. It was a baseball catcher. That’s it.

‘Looking Up’. Great 1910 cover. I’d never heard of Robert Robinson and would like to see more of it. That catcher’s mitt IS great!

‘Gramps’. Another wonderful Rockwell. I think Grandpa might very well hit that ball out of the park or out of sight entirely. He looks pretty serious (to me).

‘Dad at Bat’. Never heard of Alan Foster before but love his work too. This one also has the clasic ‘circle’ a lot of the covers had in the ’20s.

Love ‘Island Game’ and Dohanos IS a favorite whose work I AM familiar with. I have a feeling this attempt at playin’ baseball didn’t work out too well, unfortunately.
