From the 1910s to the 1970s, Rockwell's delightful illustrations for The Saturday Evening Post offered a refuge to Americans yearning for simple pleasures and old traditions in a changing world. Not surprisingly, Rockwell's drawings often centered on the National Pastime, not as it was played by big leaguers but by kids and just plain folks. This wonderful 10-1/2" x 13-1/2" reproduction depicts an old-time pitcher with snazzy red and white socks winding up and taking aim as a cigar-chomping fellow in a suit and derby plays ump, peering in under the pitcher's raised leg. The drawing, which in its simplicity boils the game down to its early innocence, is in excellent condition and mounted under glass in a 13-1/2" by 16-1/2" wood frame.
