Sun City West, AZ, September 24, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Ray Plate, a veteran of the US Military, has completed his new book, “The Art of Baseball”: an autobiographical and pictorial volume that takes readers on a journey through the author’s two-decade-long career as an artist, capturing the essence of Major League Baseball through his distinctive art and engaging stories.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, author Ray Plate moved with his family to Long Island, where he experienced a small-town sense of morality. Initially unaware of his artistic talent, Plate pursued art in high school mainly for an easy credit and, after graduating in 1965, he joined the military, serving as an Infantry unit medic in Alaska and later training troops for Vietnam. Following his military service, he earned associate degrees in art and science from College of the Canyons and Los Angeles Trade and Technical College, respectively. The author worked as a building engineer after relocating to Phoenix, Arizona, where he currently resides with his second wife.
“This is an autobiographical, pictorial book that features twenty-plus years of my life as an artist,” writes Plate. “The book depicts all of the great sports icons in Major League Baseball, whom I have met and have created artworks for, as well as many other players I contacted by mail. It also features a cornucopia of stories, opinions, facts, and baseball history in the form of original art, art prints, and photos.”
Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Ray Plate’s engaging collection delves into the human condition and the broader themes of life, making it not just a visual delight but also a thought-provoking read. Filled with irony, wit, and reflections on life, "The Art of Baseball” offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art and sports.
