It's possible that he'll be the only person EVER to be drafted Twice(each) in two major professional sports.. Although, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure that no one else has done that too. Mostly because I'm not that familiar with NBA and NHL draft histories..

I did not know the story of Bo being drafted by NYY! Learn something new everyday. My brother was drafted by the Yanks in 2000, but it was much farther down - and he never signed (it was during the days of the Draft and Follow). Thanks for sharing that about Bo.....

Thank you, sir. The Brett is currently the only piece I have ever had to destroy because it didn't hold up. I spent a couple of years planning it, hoping I could find a way in science to help preserve the pine tar. Unfortunately, it was too viscous, and within 2 weeks.....the thicker sections of tar had merged with the other areas. I used sample sections to try an acrylic seal, but the tar moved under it; I tried heat, but the tar thinned out faster instead of drying; after consulting with several "experts" on tar online - I gave up and decided to just stick with the photos I had taken.

Welcome Tim. Cool stuff. How large is your typical artwork? Just curious...it is difficult to tell from the pics.

Thanks! Most of the pieces are 34" x 24". Some are a bit larger, some are a couple of inches smaller.

Finally got to check out the site. Very cool stuff. It is impressive how far you have come since the Wagner. Your style reminds me a lot of
Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson. She does a lot of animal scenes.

Thank you sir. I agree...I feel like I am getting better with each piece. I still cherish the Wagner and the '52 Mantle that I made shortly after, but I am evolving from giving representations of the originals such as those - and I feel my work is getting more realistic with each piece.

Thank you for sharing the above artist - I love the pieces I saw of the waitresses. Very nice!

That is a shame to hear! At least you were able to preserve it by photographs..either way extremely impressive work of art!
