Sandy Koufax "This Day in Sports"
 

Hello Scott:
Great piece of Bob Feller, I have 2 pieces of Les Hollreiser on Sandy Koufax.

This one's a little different. Modern jumbo 3D style Plywood Art by acclaimed artist, Steve Sax. I thought this was a cool depiction of the Babe, with the familiar Yankee Stadium Facade behind him...

Original art for Three Rivers Stadium - Conception Piece
 

This was the original design for Three Rivers Stadium in 1962

Awesome painting, I'm more than a bit jealous;)

The biggest vs the littlest
 

....

Thanks, it's one of my favorite pieces. It's a beautiful watercolor.

Couple of Hugh Doyle cartoons.

About 15 years ago I purchased an Edd Roush auto 3x5 and was looking for a photo to frame it with. My little brother was in High School at the time and was a pretty good artist. He said if I give him some pictures he would draw me one in his art class. I didn't know he would draw it poster size.

Vander Meer & Cincinnati Reds original art 1940
 

Pumping some life into one of my favorite Jimmy "The King of Clout" threads! Wow, it's been almost two years since the last post.
What else do you guys have to keep this thread going?

I recently picked up this original piece of artwork that details the Cincinnati Reds and Johnny Vander Meer's run towards the 1940 Word Series. I believe the artist Russell was from the Cincinnati area and these ran in the Cincinnati Post and Cincinnati's News of the Reds team publication.

In December, I bought two Willard Mullin originals as Christmas presents for myself, and one for my boss. Thanks to SCP

Love the Willard Mullins, Doug!

Thank you Scott, I'm quite happy about them.

My Hollreiser. Had it since the 1980s.

That's a great one, Mark!

The greatest by the greatest!
 

Safe to say I will NEVER sell this guy. Kreindler is the man!

Ben,

As Max the butler would say about Mrs H:

"she's gorgeous"

HA! Thanks buddy. Th wild seem to be on a tailspin.:(

and the Hawks are rolling ; )

Thanks Doug

Good that this thread is going again -- here are a couple of painted baseballs.

Greg

Jennifer's commission of Eddie Gaedel

If you're in Spokane on August 19th, visit O'Doherty's Irish Grille in downtown Spokane for a celebration of Eddie's birthday. The painting is on display, as well as other tributes to Eddie. Just a whole lot of fun.

Max

Very nice Max! Just curious -- what are the dimensions of the Eddie painting?


Greg

30" x 60"--bigger than Eddie :)

Here's a couple from John Barrett. A painter from Philly, I think. Got these 12ish years ago. He used to have a site earlybaseballimages.com, if I remember correctly. Anyone else have a Barrett? Mine is on wood. He also did canvas.

Here are a few by artist, Justyn Farano.

Zooming this back to the top to say...
 

That main piece is one of the freaking greatest things I've seen.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Well done, sir.

Just discovering this thread, so I may be wrong but......no Lincecum?

Some great stuff here.

Leroy Neiman? Not so much, IMHO.

This is a piece I bought from TIM CARROLL who is well known for his work in the industry! He created this Jeter piece of cut of baseball cards! Love it

That piece is simply amazing, it is one of my favorite pieces from Tim.:)

That's really cool Ben.

It would be funny if the Jeter was made from common Red Sox cards. :D

Thank you again, Anthony. It was a pleasure working for you! And thank you, too, Ben, for the kind words.

Here's my most recent, made from A&G and Conlon commons. 15.5" x 28.75":

Wow! I love that Jeter piece! As a Jeter collector I am drooling on my keyboard.

Mike

Not exactly Kreindler quality. I was digging through a drawer and forgot I even had this thing. It was free, as I remember. :p

Holy Grails
 

I have collected a dozen or so George Sosnak baseballs over the years. But I would have to say that, in my humble opinion, my last two finds are extraordinary. Enjoy...

'64 Topps Koufax art
 

Here's the original art for the 1964 Topps Sandy Koufax.

Pretty cool Justin.

Love these. Congrats!

I'm gonna miss ya, brutha. Thank you for always trying to shine a light on me.

George Sosnak baseballs
 

I agree, those Sosnak baseballs are terrific. Some he would sell, but a lot of them were given away. Being a Koufax collector, I had to get the one below commemorating his 3rd no-hitter.

That Koufax Sosnack ball is incredible, Rick! :cool:

I did this sketch back in 1977

Thanks Scott, I can't imagine how long it took him to complete a baseball. I know when he died there were a lot of baseballs he had started but never completed.

Rick

Sosnak balls are great, here's some photos of my one and only. Added the little description from my site:

1966 G. Sosnak St. Louis Cardinals Ball
This hand painted baseball by Sosnak celebrates the 1966 St. Louis Cardinals baseball club with team logo imagery and artwork of the team's biggest star, Bob Gibson. This ball has been signed in pencil by Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Red Schoendienst, Curt Flood and many others. Sosnak dedicated this ball to Winn Sosnak on the sweet spot.

There are some really nice pieces in this thread. I have some prints, nothing too fancy.

I have always wanted to own art from a local New York reporter/artist who used to write for the NY Daily New, Bill Gallo. He has since passed on, so I sure his art may be hard to get.

There was an artist who's name escapes me. His stuff used to appear in Baseball Digest. He used to draw stadiums with images of famous plays that occurred in that particular ballpark around it. I loved those pics and have been wanting a print of Yankee Stadium. Just need to find out his name.

Mike

Pitching Rubber Baseball Art
 

Lots of Bill Gallo stuff on ebay.

Thanks Dewey. I'll check the bay.

1950 Gene Mack original artwork of No-Hit pitcher Vern Bickford
 

I just recently picked up this 12" x 16" original art drawing of Boston Braves no-hit pitcher Vern Bickford and other no-hit pitchers that appeared in The Sporting News in 1950.

This piece is an obvious fit because of the no-hit theme for my collection, plus I love original art. ;) A deadly combo. :D

Very cool, Scott. Love the little vignettes.

NY Giants original painting
 

In the 1990's, this illustrator had done a series that was displayed in the front offices of the Chicago White Sox. I liked the mythical, legendary style. I commissioned him to paint the "Hitter" for me, only with a Giants ball cap. (23"x19" framed) fyi, I will probably be offering this for sale soon... Mike

I picked this water color up for 39 bucks - not attributed to anyone - but thought it was nicely done.

and here's the photo that looks like it was taken from:

Thanks Rob!

Original artwork for front page of the Sporting news from 1944.

I'm happy with my 2 Arthur K Miller paintings, but I'm looking forward to hiring Mr. Kreindler to work his magic for me.

I also have a couple of his lithographs and the last thing I'm showing is a great art card of my cousin Whitlow Wyatt created from a photo of him I had never seen.

That Koufax piece is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Here's a series of eight minor league home run leaders that I have been working on for my website, The Infinite Baseball Card Set. So far I have done stories on Joe Hauser, Bob Crues and Joe Bauman.

Great work, Gary!

Thanks Rob. I just put the Moose Clabaugh story up yesterday. Tony Lazzeri (or "LaZerre as he was known in the PCL in 1925) is next week.

Picked up this vintage Brooks Robinson painting a couple weeks ago...If anyone can share any additional information on the artist (F.G. Hoyt), please let me know

<a href="https://imgur.com/Y81kMKu"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Y81kMKu.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

I recently picked up this beautiful Eddie Mathews drawing. It is also autographed by Eddie in blue pen. The only down side is the artist did not sign it so there is no way of knowing who they are.

Beautiful piece. Believe it or not, I have the original Type 1 Photo that was used to create that artwork. It’s a very rare rookie image of Mathews, and the only original I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps the two belong together? If you are interested, shoot me a PM. I am open to selling it if you like it. I’ll attach a picture of the Mathews Rookie photo... please just ignore the camera glare, and thanks!

Ugh... this site always rotates the picture unnecessarily. Will try one more time, with the flash to the right of Mathews this time...

Edit- sorry for the sideways pics. Nothing I do seems to fix it.

I was finally able to purchase 2 Kreindler originals- Thanks Graig!

It’s not the site, Mark.... :rolleyes:

I’d be hard pressed to call that guy an “artist.” ;)

The Babe & The Mick - Artist Ron Stark

Running out of wall space...here is Roberto & Ted

Gorgeous work by Stark...

All beautiful, but that Ted Williams is particularly stunning. :eek:

Baseball Art
 

My Arthur Miller Rockford Peaches picture

The body of the Brooks Robinson painting is that of a 7 foot man, and the head is that of an infant.

This was my first attempt at making art from cut up cards. Mostly '87 Topps, but also some late '80s Score and Donruss.

Another one
 

... And here is the my most recent one

Reviving this thread with the newest piece in my collection.

This 5x7 painting was commissioned by Topps for their 2018 Gallery set and is the very image found on Zack Greinke's card within the set. The art was created by Dan Bergren and was done as a pencil sketch with airbrush for the background, flesh tones and larger sections featuring color, while acrylic paints were used for the finer details and the uniform.

Greinke only appears on three Gallery cards featuring original art so far throughout his career and as far as I know is not featured on any original art in other Topps sets.

I realize that this piece is quite new compared to much of the artwork shown in the previous posts however, that is one of the reasons I was drawn to the piece. Now don't get me wrong, I love baseball cards and there are many great issues and sets produced these days, however, in a day and age when a new card can be designed, edited and printed at warp speed, there is something refreshing to be found in this piece and as someone who dabbles in art myself, I can also fully appreciate the talent and detail that a piece like this commands!
