# AC174 - 02/03/1978 USA, Norman Rockwell 'Batter Up'
Cover Honors Norman Rockwell and America's Pastime
This cover is part of the Norman Rockwell Commemorative Cover Collection. One of the stamps (US #855) was issued in 1939, the 100th anniversary of baseball, the sport that would become America's pastime. The cachet on the cover shows a painting by Rockwell called "Windup." The cover collection was produced in 1978, just months before the artist's death. This cover is a fitting tribute to the artist and the fun of baseball.
