It is not the art and poetry in baseball but the baseball in poetry and art.
In baseball, there are saints and demons, there is artistry and poetry galore, drama and dance on a daily basis. There are thrills and suspense, comedy and tragedy and a 150-year-old historical narrative prone to long, quiet, fallow stretches. Riddled with intrigue, misdeeds and heroism, with Hall of Famers who were well known cheaters, and Hall of Fame worthy players barred from Valhalla for breaking the rules. We’ve carried on with the national game through war and peace. It is among the most natural things we knew how to do here in America: play baseball and cheer on our heroes who do something perfectly useless and simultaneously as singularly important as anything our culture offers.
An exhibition of art about baseball featuring works by James Allen, Bill Adams, Elise Drake, Jonathan Edelhuber, Garrett Fuller, James Gallagher, Jiwoong Jang, Gregory Klassen, Dan Mandelbaum, Anthony Miler, Josh Schultz, Thomas Sturgill, Nacho Valle and others.
