* National Pastime Radio: Norman Rockwell and Baseball

November 29, 2009

Found this a few weeks ago, but had forgotten about it.

A great new book — Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera — tells the backstories about many of his famous paintings, including his 1948 work, “The Dugout,” which depicts a desolate Cubs team languishing in poor times. NPR picks up the story here, with the audio here.

Of course, Rockwell did several iconic baseball illustrations, including “Rain Delay” and “The Rookie,” among others. The names alone should suffice to draw the images to mind.
