EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of American cinema, capturing a scene from the 1927 silent film "Casey at the Bat". The sepia-toned image showcases Wallace Beery in his role as Casey, a legendary baseball player. Dressed in his vintage uniform and donning a cap, Beery embodies the spirit of an athlete from that era. The photograph transports us to a dusty field where men gather around to witness this thrilling game. With anticipation in their eyes, spectators eagerly watch as Casey steps up to bat. Holding onto his trusty wooden bat, he exudes confidence and determination. In this frozen moment captured by The Granger Collection, we can almost hear the silence that envelops the scene due to its silent movie nature. It is as if time stands still while everyone awaits Casey's powerful swing. Notably present are other players on the field - one serving as catcher wearing a chest protector and another waiting for action with glove in hand. This snapshot serves not only as a reminder of early sports films but also highlights how far athletic equipment has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of cinematic history, it reminds us of both our love for sports and our fascination with classic movies.
