Just curious, how many of you, if you win, will be going pre WWII, or after WWII. And if you don't mind sharing, who would you go with?
Me, probably pre WW!!, and if I can find the one I like, me being a Tiger fan, Greenberg and Gehringer together. I also seen one with Greenberg and Ruth, still have to decide which one.

Since you are a Greenberg fan, here is a photo of my father as a child with Hank Greenberg and Nick Altrock at Briggs Stadium circa 1938. Enjoy! My choice for this painting would be post-WWII and it would be Nolan Ryan.

Speaker ?
I talked to Graig 2 years ago about possibly doing a Tris Speaker painting for me. I had the funds set aside, but life happens and I had to use them for something else. Graig was kind enough to email me some photos of Speaker that he thought would work great.
Being a Boston fan, I was looking for an image of Speaker where you can clearly see the word "Boston" on the front of his uniform. My favorite player growing up was Carl Yastrzemski, but I don't think I would do a painting of him. I also thought about a painting of Babe Ruth while he was with Boston, but that has been done a hundred times. I think the greatest thing about Graig's work is how he takes a black and white photograph and brings it to life in full color. It is amazing. Therefore, I don't think I would do a post WWII photo, since you already know the coloring of the image. This is the one I think I would choose if I am lucky enough to win.

I think I'd go for this Walsh/Joss image

Ted,
I think you just want Graig to paint all that fencing in the background. Scott, What a great picture of your father to cherish. Priceless to you I am sure. Bill

GoTigers,
I too have been considering Kaline. There are a lot of good ones of him. Here is one I would consider. But Ruth is always on my mind. Him in uniform with kids, but usually there are too many kids in the photos. But there is one, done by VanOeyen that would look better in color, then in the below black and white.
