Rockwell's 09/04/1948 Saturday Evening Post Cover
This is a 1973 Portal Publications reprint of the Post's cover entitled "Bottom Of The Ninth". It features local legend Johnny "Bear Tracks" Schmitz on the far right behind the bat boy. Johnny signed this copy at his kitchen table where he signed for anybody came to visit with him. I don't have an original magazine but hope this will fit into the spirit of this thread. I believe that there were two versions of the original painting. One of which went up for auction a few years ago.
