We talked about this sculpture some time back. This afternoon I was at the Seattle Art Museum, which has a billion dollar plus collection and, amongst the Picassos, Rothkos, Rembrandts and Edward Hoppers was one of the 19th century bronzes, The Pitcher. The bronze was made c. 1889 and shows an 1870s pitcher. It was detailed and the uniform (and underhanded pitching) appeared accurate. I walked by it and thought, "Is that a baseball player?" If any Seattlites want to see it, it's on the third floor.
