Baseball has thrived organically along side us, because its rules and structure mirror our struggles, or simply contention, with time, space, and infinity. The game is played outside of time; the end comes when the life of the game is complete and it's in the book - a point unknown to anyone at the start. The physical setting is defined by a starting point known as "home" and rational geometry extends the field endlessly in the landscape. Alternately pitching and batting, two teams of nine have nine chances (innings), each chance limited by three faults (outs), to put players safely on the bases and bring them home again (runs). The pitcher tries to own the game, batters have a fair number of chances to wrest it away, and everyone else has moments to use their talent and skill in support. You never know what will happen in a Baseball game. 21 engravings on the subject of baseball have been assembled in a book handmade by the engraver, in an edition of 20.
