Inhaltsangabe:
The “national pastime” engages (and sometimes enrages) fans and fanatics across America and around the world. Many of The New Yorker’s best cartoonists, an esteemed and talented lot, have experienced our passion for this great game. These one hundred drawings give hilarious proof of that.
An unforgettable, all-star lineup of cartoonists from A (Charles Addams) to Z (Jack Ziegler) are on deck, making this collection a grand slam! In cartoons spanning eight decades, the artists have captured the emotional essence of the game—kids playing pickup and beleagured major leaguers; fans at the ballpark or glued to the TV; zealous players to zany managers; and, yes, even that necessary evil, the umpires.
The humor endures because baseball—and our relationship with it—keeps a powerful, timeless grip upon all who await those precious words: “Play ball!”
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Robert Mankoff is a cartoon “player-manager” at The New Yorker, where he is cartoon editor and a frequent contributor. He is also founder and president of The Cartoon Bank, perhaps making him a “commissioner” of sorts, as well. He is the editor of numerous other cartoon collections, including The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons.
Michael Crawford, coeditor of this collection and staff artist at The New Yorker, has been contributing cartoons and illustrations since 1983. A dedicated baseball fan, he swears he has a better ERA for the company softball team than “Beanball Bob Mankoff.”
