Default Amadee print info

Afternoon, does anyone know anything about this print? Grabbed it on eBay last week for what I thought was a great price for how cool it is, but know nothing about it besides that the artist was a well-known sports cartoonist who passed away in 2014 at the age of 102 (thanks Wikipedia).



Does anyone know anything else about it? Part of a series? Year?

It’s around 13x20. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah this was cheap, $23 total and was even unexpectedly shipped in the frame.

Here’s another I found on Google Images, for Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium. And it appears there’s an early-mid 80’s book called “Take Me Out to the Ballpark” that features some of his work, wonder if it’s from there.

I have that Orioles print. Got it cheap about five years ago. I haven't taken it out of the mailing tube since it arrived. One day I'll clear some wall space for it. they are neat items with an old school Sporting News vibe.

I have been dying for a Yankee Stadium one for years. Just haven't pulled the trigger on one just yet.

I seem to remember seeing these in Baseball Digest back in the late 70's, early 80's we I read them as a kid or am I mistaken?

I believe they were somehow tied to The Sporting News

Found another online discussion about them here: http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/..._sporting_news

Also, an Ebay auction that, if accurate, solves the mystery: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CIRCA-1983-...E/263392739726

Auction says "Produced by the Sporting News in 1983 in conjunction with the publication of the classic stadium book, "Take Me Out to the Ballpark," this suitable-for-framing lithograph by notable cartoonist Amadee features great moments at Tiger Stadium and head shot illustrations of Hall-of-Famers Al Kaline and Ty Cobb."
