Blair and Laurie Pessemier spent the summer of 2005 following the Torrington Twisters, a New England College Baseball Team. From practice, through games, rainouts, and time on the road, the Twisters are chronicles in paintings, drawings, and stories.More than a baseball book, it is a story of individuals and their aspirations to the "big leagues". Summerball approaches baseball from an artistic point of view: brilliant green grass, red earth lining the bases; summer light and dynamic figures. It stops the action to capture a nuance of movement, light and composition.The crowd, the stadium, the coaches surround the team that plays "Summer Ball".
