Perfect Game: America Looks at Baseba by Elizabeth V Warren

Perfect Game: America Looks at Baseba by Elizabeth V Warren

For the ardent baseball fan, what sets the sport apart - what makes it "the perfect game" - are the treasured memories it evokes of a time gone by. This nostalgic visual history celebrates more than 150 years of baseball's - and America's - past. Beginning in the 1840s and continuing through to the end of the 20th century, the book captures in portraits, watercolours, carvings, painted signs, lithographs and a wide variety of everyday objects reminders of baseball the way it used to be.

Elizabeth V. Warren was the curator of the American Folk Art Museum from 1984 to 1990 and has been the museum's consulting curator since 1991.

Eisenstat), each with catalogs. She received her A.B. from Bryn Mawr College and her M.A. in American folk art studies from New York University.
