Thanks for the compliments, Al! Actually, I was named after Nettles (whom I assume you're referring to). I think my father seeing those great plays in the '78 series left a lasting impression, and once he brought up the spelling to my mother, it was set in stone when I was born in 1980. The only problem is, I've been getting 'Craig' my entire life...which may account for my self-esteem being lower than Kafka's!

Wow! I've never met someone who was named after Nettles.

Game 3 of the '78 series was an early highlight of my baseball life. Have you ever done any paintings of your namesake?

Funny you should ask that!!



This drawing was done when I was 7 or 8, I think. My brother ended up buying one of those baseball player address books, and Nettles was the first person I ever sent anything to. I fully intended on just giving him the drawing to keep, but he sent it back autographed, along with two signed postcards. What a guy!!

I think someday, I'll end up doing something of him. I think I just need the right image. There's a great shot of him standing on the field looking at the scoreboard in Yankee Stadium, the night after Munson's funeral, though that painting would be more about Thurman...

I was at that game, Graig, even as a little kid I was blown away by the emotion of that night. Bobby Murcer singlehandedly won the game after delivering Thurman's eulogy.

There are some great shots of Nettles in a full-body dive that would be awesome. Maybe someday I'll hit the lottery and then commission you to do one.

Anyway, great stuff. Your website is spectacular, BTW - very classy and easy to use.

Thanks, Al! I have to hand it to my webguy, he's the one who kept telling me to make sure it's easy to navigate. I'm going to be taking the reigns towards the end of the summer, so hopefully I want sabotage all of his hard work!

I remember that game and the whole series Al!

I was in dental school at Columbia - was supposed to be studying but couldn't!

Was that a great season or what?

Meeting and talking to Graig was the highlight of my trip for the National. His work is breath taking and he is also as nice and personalble as his paintings are great.

I have seen alot of sports themed artwork and let me say that NO ONE can touch Graig in this area. The research and precise details that he puts into his paintings is unmatched.

I will be commissioning Graig in the future for a painting. I would love to fill my basement and entertainment area with his work.
