Baseball, a la Norman Rockwell

February 7, 2008

Execrpted from an entry on darkmattermag.com:

“When I was young, I collected autographs of active and retired baseball
players using a book that actually listed their home addresses. This
book even had addresses for old umpires, including the umpire depicted
in the center of Rockwell’s painting, “Beans” Reardon. So, I have a small reproduction of Bottom of the Sixth signed by good old “Beans” right there on the chest protector. I’m sure it wouldn’t get much on Antique Road Show, but I still cherish it today.”
