Van Lingle Mungo is a light modern type with a beautiful canter and lovely expression.

​

He is named after the American baseball player, Van Lingle Mungo, whom I
originally met in Summerland, a novel by Michael Chabon wherein Ethan
Feld and the Traveling Shadowtails Baseball club defeat Coyote and save
the world.

​

“In the playground that is all that remains of the Elysian Fields of Hoboken, NJ, the sole evidence of what happened at Diamond Green was the appearance, under the swings, of a yellowed Spalding baseball mysteriously signed by Van Lingle Mungo.”

​

If you google Van Lingle Mungo you'll find a very cool jazz tune of the same name.
