Description: From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. A baseball game is going on in a stadium under the banner, "Times-Picayune Port series." Pletcher's signature character signifying New Orleans (usually in colonial dress and wig) is dressed as a baseball player and is at bat. He is holding a huge numeral one that is labeled "N.O.'s no. 1 problem" and is preparing to swing at a pitch. The catcher is behind the plate, which is labeled "No. 2 port in trouble." The cartoon caption reads, "Ninth inning, two out, 3 and 2 count, behind in the game...a critical moment in any ball game!"
