Fine Art Friday - the Baseball Edition

We'll go back to the alphabet editions next week, but I just spent a lovely evening with PapaC out at the ballpark, watching our Texas Rangers beat Minnesota with a homerun in the bottom of the tenth. It was exciting! I love baseball, and I love going to the games, even when they're not particularly good games. Baseball is nice--you sit outside, eat hot dogs or nachos (though I ate neither tonight---grrrrrr) and yell for your team. You people watch in the spaces between things happening. Fascinating.

So tonight we're doing baseball in art--by one of my favorite artists: Norman Rockwell.
