From 1916 to 1963 Norman Rockwell illustrated 322 covers for The Saturday
Evening Post. Rockwell captured the
American way of life through his
artwork and illustrations. Each telling
a story that cannot be told with words.
It was only fitting that a number of
covers featured the National pastime,
baseball. The July 8, 1939 issue of
the Saturday Evening Post cover
features a Norman Rockwell work titled
"100th Year Of Base Ball"
The cover features a pitcher in a 19th century uniform along with great
looking ankle high athletic shoes. The glove with the
1 inch web was common to the 1910 -
1920s era, and goes against
Rockwell's reputation for attention
to accurate detail. In the early
days of baseball the umpire did
stand behind the pitcher so that
makes sense for this painting. The back
cover has a Wheaties advertisement featuring Joe DiMaggio.
