Following in the tradition of Abrams' classic Baseball's Golden Age: The Photographs of Charles M. Conlon, which captured baseball between the wars, Walter looss Jr. here presents the definitive photographic vision of baseball - and the players that turned a game into an art - since the 1960's. Classic Baseball includes many never-before-published photographs from the 1960s, along with more famous images from looss's illustrious Sports Illustrated career. The book also features several marvelous collages made by the photographer in which he puts together a main image and assorted related pictures in a large and fascinating whole. There are also several "portraits" of looss's favorite ballparks, such as Connie Mack Stadium, Wrigley Field, and Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Walter looss Jr., began photographing baseball while still a teenager. One of his first assignments from Sports Illustrated, while he was still in high school, was to photograph Roger Maris's attempt to break Babe Ruth's home-run record. Over the last 40 years, looss has continued to photograph baseball games and key players, many of who have become his close friends. Dave Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, writes three columns a week on sports for The New York Times. He is the author of some 350 magazine articles and 22 books, four of them with John Madden, which remained on the bestseller lists for a total of 60 weeks.
