description: 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 “Play ball!”
