Hey guys,
I just got this painting back from the photographers today:  Mickey Mantle, April 17, 1951, 20" x 46" I was thinking and looking around for a proper title for the piece a while back, and finally came across something that worked. After reading the below excerpt from the NY Times the day after Mantle's first game (which this painting depicts), I realized that the title 'A Bewildered Bystander' was perfect. Check it:  Those four paragraphs certainly say plenty about how intimidating it must have been for a 19-year old kid from a small mining town to become the heir-apparent to DiMaggio and the centerpiece of the legendary Yankees. And speaking of DiMaggio, I wonder if his mentioned actions were purposefully done. If so, they definitely speak volumes about that persona of the man that we're left with today. Yikes. Anywho, I hope you dig the painting!! Graig

Beautiful painting, Graig. Another Kreindleriffic effort. Great insight in that article. Bewildered Bystander is the perfect title (and way better than Feather Weight or Where's the Foul Line).

Thanks so much for the love, everybody. I'm thrilled you like this one. I hope the client does too!
 David, "Where's the Foul Line" was actually my second choice.

Thanks a lot, guys.
And Howard, I appreciate that comment. I wonder if it could take the place of the Mathewson? Graig
