Holy canoli, Jimmy. I would have imagined that you'd need to add another zero to the end of that price to make it seem 'legit'. The contrast and clarity seem wonderful, too. FANTASTIC stab.

Here are two images I've had in my archives for a while now. They're not originals, but I've always loved the images, and you can be sure they'll find their way onto the canvas. The first comes from a game at Comiskey, probably from '36-'37, while the other is from Fenway sometime in 1935. Gehrig is pictured next to rookie Babe Dahlgren - the man who would replace him in the lineup over four years later. What a painting that would make!!





Speaking of paintings, I don't know if I ever posted these to this thread. The first is from Conlon's famous 1936 photo, and the second, we see Gehrig on the bench watching the same Dahlgren play in his spot.
