Hey Graig,
I was just curious if you have ever seen this picture. It has been one of my favorites for years and I recently ran across the copy I had saved on another computer. I saw this and thought of you right away. It would make a great subject for you. I know it doesnt feature a specific player but the stadium and the plane would be a great subject. I always thought it was cool that the play in this World Series game has obviously come to a stop as this huge plane passed over head. You can see the players just watching it as it disappears as almost a tribute to the soldiers of that era. The Hall of Fame confirmed this was taken during the 1942 (no definite on the year) World Series and the colored bunting as well as the crowd would be great color splashes for you to paint. This could be the real "Bronx Bomber".

Absolutely, Andrew. That shot's been a favorite of mine for years. And I definitely agree with you on the bunting and advert colors - it could be a lot of fun. And at a really large size? Oh man, the possibilities.
I'm pretty sure the photo is from the '43 World Series, probably the first game (though I'm not 100% on that). I seem to remember something about it being piloted by Cardinal Manager Billy Southworth's son, who was buzzing the Stadium to wish luck to his dad. Just another one on the list...

Awesome!
I just stumbled on this thread...
Wow! Graig, you are an amazing talent! My sister was a double major in photography and painting. Can't wait to show her this thread. It seems you only do baseball, but I would love to see the finished product of this shot:
