Purchase options and add-ons

The “national pastime” engages (and sometimes enrages) fans and fanatics across America and around the world. Many of The New Yorker’s best cartoonists, an esteemed and talented lot, have experienced our passion for this great game. These one hundred drawings give hilarious proof of that.

An unforgettable, all-star lineup of cartoonists from A (Charles Addams) to Z (Jack Ziegler) are on deck, making this collection a grand slam! In cartoons spanning eight decades, the artists have captured the emotional essence of the game—kids playing pickup and beleagured major leaguers; fans at the ballpark or glued to the TV; zealous players to zany managers; and, yes, even that necessary evil, the umpires.

The humor endures because baseball—and our relationship with it—keeps a powerful, timeless grip upon all who await those precious words: “Play ball!”

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Clever, insightful and on target in depicting the game, the players, and the fans. Funny, too, of course.”
—Polo.com

“Even if you can’t tell a box score from a box top, you’ll like this droll take on our national pastime . . . ”
—Reader’s Digest

“There are plenty of tears in baseball . . . thank godness the game has some humor to see us through the low points. If you like baseball, you’ll smile as you flip through the pages of The New Yorker Book of Baseball Cartoons.”
—Fresno Bee

“Baseball is a funny game. Really. The New Yorker Book of Baseball Cartoons gives ample demonstration.”
—The Baltimore Sun

About the Author

Robert Mankoff is a cartoon “player-manager” at The New Yorker, where he is cartoon editor and a frequent contributor. He is also founder and president of The Cartoon Bank, perhaps making him a “commissioner” of sorts, as well. He is the editor of numerous other cartoon collections, including The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons.

Michael Crawford, coeditor of this collection and staff artist at The New Yorker, has been contributing cartoons and illustrations since 1983. A dedicated baseball fan, he swears he has a better ERA for the company softball team than “Beanball Bob Mankoff.”

Perfect Gift For The Seamhead In Your Life

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015

You simply can not go wrong with a collection of New Yorker cartoons. I happen to love both the New Yorker and baseball so this book is right in my strike zone. The cartoons in this collection span every era from the thirties to the glorious 1950's when New York ruled the baseball universe, to the post steroid era. Perfect gift for the baseball fan in your life. My only complaint is that it is bit short in length, but that is a minor quibble.

Funny and fun for baseball FANATICS

This is a compilation of cartoons about baseball that appeared in the New Yorker. They are not only funny but put the great all American (and now Japanese and Latin American) game in a historical and cultural context. Hubby and I love this book, but then we are baseball fanatics.

This book is a hoot on every page. The drawings are great and the humor is mostly visual with only a few words for the punch line. Each new baseball season this book sits on the coffee table until the end of the World Series. The New Yorker Book of Baseball Cartoons

This isn't exactly a book you read over and over again, but it made a great gift for a friend who is a rabid baseball fan. Makes a good coffee table book to pick up and leaf through occasionally.

I bought this as a gift. My nephew LOVED it. He's a baseball NUT. He's 26 years old. He'll treasure it forever

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2003

This is a funny and wryly amusing collection of 100 baseball cartoons that first appeared in "The New Yorker." Although illustrators are credited, no dates are given. (This would have been helpful in discerning which jokes are relatively old, and which just sound old.) Some of the material is fairly trite, deriding such easy targets as umpires and over zealous fans. Most of them are quite funny though, including a picture of seven infielders gathered close to home as one fan explains to another "They expect him to bunt," and another showing an umpire pondering how to call a play with a wonderful Jack Benny-like expression and the equally Benny-esque caption "I'm thinking!" (with 'thinking' underlined).
A major problem is the formatting, all the `toons are given equal size, and hence equal weight. A number of these are just "throwaway" jokes, pictures and captions without much weight or originality. As a small illustration added--like a condiment--to a large text, these are appropriately lightweight and amusing, but as large pictures they don't compare to the more creative and funnier efforts here. After a while, the similarities begin to inoculate you against the humor. A better format might have been to present these in the size in which they originally appeared. However, this would make a good gift for baseball fans and those who live with them. Overall, it's an excellent coffee table book that doesn't take up the whole coffee table.
