Default Brooks Robinson
Clint,

Thought I'd chime in since I really like pretty much all items Brooksie related. In my experience the older prints have smaller borders, but like stated previously these were made in all different sizes. I have a few different sizes myself as well as the print giveaway for "Thanks Brooks Day" which is a smaller version.

I think an original Rockwell would be out of most individuals price range unless you have several million to spend. I settled for a decent copy.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I was really curious about knowing the story behind it. I've read what was online but knew you guys could add a little more. I know it's not a high end item by any means but just love the colors and of course the subject. Thanks again everyone for your input!

I believe it's part of the forum requirement to post a picture of the piece after you have it nicely displayed.

While we're waiting patiently for you to post I'll supply the temperature in Florida with this fairly accurate thermometer.

Love Rockwell paintings. A poignant and moving perspective on life in the good ol' USA.

Anyone notice Brooks signing left handed? The only thing he did right handed was play baseball.....

Yes I always wondered what the deal was with that. Great observation.

Yes; Brooks was basically ambidextrous and does most things left handed. Probably one of the reasons he was a great fielder since the glove was on his strong hand.

That's a great little tidbit; thanks for mentioning that in regard to the Rockwell painting. I'm sure most people wouldn't catch that.
