Default Baseball Art II (and Football) and why things aren't always as they seem Lelands Jan 2007
Posted By: Max Weder

Many of us have heard stories about how Curt Flood and Tommy McDonald (former Eagles wide receiver) were both accomplished portrait artists.

While reading Brad Snyder's excellent biography of Flood, I found out that neither Flood or McDonald were artists, just front men.

ESPN discussed this with McDonald in November 2003:

However, Lelands didn't note this distinction in its January 2007 completed auction
