Baseball Art....
Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>One of the highlights of going to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY has been viewing their collection of original baseball artwork. <br /><br />Although there has been several decent books issued on the subject including "Diamonds Are Forever," I rarely see much discussion on the subject.<br /><br />I figured it might be an interesting thread to see scans of our favorite baseball artwork....paintings, etchings, sculpture, etc.<br /><br />My favorite painting, which can be found on page 73 of "Diamonds Are Forever" is James Chapin's "Veteran Bush League Catcher." (Oil on canvas, 1948)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1169342112.JPG"> <br /><br />Let's see some more scans of baseball artwork!<br /><br />Patrick

I just picked up the Lehigh Exhibit book today, and there are even more pieces of art that belong to the collection than I had even thought. <br /><br />Max
