The Art of Fielding Recently fell in love with the characters in this wonderful novel by Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding. Set in a fictional “Westish college” and focusing on the members of their baseball team, “Harpooners”.I’m decidedly not linking to any further information sources, for should you be curious, it is always recommendable to go in totally unaware.This work also on twitter and on instagram.If/when you’ve read the book, you probably recognize this scene, which was the igniting moment for this inspiration. I was absolutely floored by the structure and conclusion of this particular chapter; what a way to get you invested.Pins, sweater, lamp and glasses all appear in the book.This shirt! Moby Dick themed “Westish college” gear, as described in the book. I loved how the novel tied a fictional college with a fictional team convincingly to a real life figure and their legacy (Herman Melville)...This serves also as my tribute to a personal long time favorite from the legendary master, Norman Rockwell: “The Dugout”. -- source link
