Typically seen as electronic sing-along signs when sung at Big League baseball games, lilting words dance across pages picturing a game, but not one played during the late 20th century. The illustrations replicate images of the former Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field during the 1947 World Series. The pictures were drawn in pen, painted with watercolor and highlighted with color pencil. Background information about the song, original verses, and a musical arrangement follow the almost wordless story of a famous strikeout. Considerable Dodger history appears on the last double-page spread of a picture book tribute to baseball in general, "the" baseball song and especially to a specific team and time. (Age 3 and older)
