Phil Interlandi (1924 - 2002) captures a highly amusing moment between father and son as they watch a baseball game on television. The little boy wearing a baseball uniform intently watches the adult players on screen, and innocently asks a question that sharply highlights parents' unsportsmanlike behavior at their children's athletic events. Little League Baseball was founded in 1939 with the intention of promoting athletic ability and sportsmanship in children six- to eighteen-years-old. Interlandi, a gifted freelance cartoonist, had his work published in magazines such as Look and Better Homes and Gardens, and, most notably, in Playboy. |
