And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudvillemighty Casey has struck out.' Those lines have echoed through the decades, the final stanza of a poem published pseudonymously in the June 3, 1888, issue of the San Francisco Examiner. Its author would rather have seen it forgotten. Instead, Ernest Thayer's poem has taken a welldeserved place as an enduring icon of Americana. Christopher Bing's magnificent version of this immortal ballad of the flailing 19thcentury baseball star is rendered as though it had been newly discovered in a hundredyearold scrapbook. Bing seamlessly weaves real and trompe l'oeil reproductions of artifactsperiod baseball cards, tickets, advertisements, and a host of other memorabilia into the narrative to present a rich and multifaceted panorama of a bygone era. A book to be pored over by children, treasured by aficionados of the sportand given as a gift to all ages: a tragicomic celebration of heroism and of a golden era of sport.
