On the easel...

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".
