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.

Lots of Bill Gallo stuff on ebay.

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.

Very cool, Scott. Love the little vignettes.

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

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.
