SynopsisIn 1949, SPORT magazine published "Lineup for Yesterday," a collection of poems by Ogden Nash celebrating the greatest big-league baseball players of the 1800s and early 1900s. In it, the famous wordsmith paid entertaining tribute to 24 legends of the diamond, encapsulating each in just 4 clever lines. Creative Editions is proud to present Nash's classic odes in a boxed set of fullcolor commemorative cards--the perfect gift for baseball fans of all ages.
If you enjoy Ogden Nash you will get a kick out of this collection of cards. Turning his wit and charm to the National Game, Nash has left us an old timers collection of Hall of Fame olde timers. Fun to read. The artwork by C.F. Payne is the fitting visual counterpoint to Nash's poems. Well worth the price of admission.
