Show your Baseball art...

[Fredskinz]

I have collected a dozen or so George Sosnak baseballs over the years. But I would have to say that, in my humble opinion, my last two finds are extraordinary. Enjoy...

Here's the original art for the 1964 Topps Sandy Koufax.

Great art everyone! Baseball art is an aspect of the hobby that I really enjoy.

Below is my Graig Kreindler masterpiece of Fred Clarke c.1902 (sorry for the two year old, bad lighting, cell phone pic). This is my favorite piece in my collection.

In a freak moment of insanity I consigned my Kreindler Ty Cobb paining (Net54 ID image) to REA earlier this year, and I regretted it almost from the day I shipped it. If you happen to be the new owner and care to send me a PM I'd love to know where it ended up.

Can't help with the Cobb or its whereabouts.

But I must say that's a gorgeous image of Clarke and very impressive framing job. Really love the way that one displays. Beautiful painting!

Thank you Mark.

Hoping to see more original art from other members as well.

Thanks for looking!

I agree, those Sosnak baseballs are terrific. Some he would sell, but a lot of them were given away. Being a Koufax collector, I had to get the one below commemorating his 3rd no-hitter.

That Koufax Sosnack ball is incredible, Rick!

I did this sketch back in 1977

Thanks Scott, I can't imagine how long it took him to complete a baseball. I know when he died there were a lot of baseballs he had started but never completed.

Sosnak balls are great, here's some photos of my one and only. Added the little description from my site:

1966 G. Sosnak St. Louis Cardinals Ball
This hand painted baseball by Sosnak celebrates the 1966 St. Louis Cardinals baseball club with team logo imagery and artwork of the team's biggest star, Bob Gibson. This ball has been signed in pencil by Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Red Schoendienst, Curt Flood and many others. Sosnak dedicated this ball to Winn Sosnak on the sweet spot.

There are some really nice pieces in this thread. I have some prints, nothing too fancy.

I have always wanted to own art from a local New York reporter/artist who used to write for the NY Daily New, Bill Gallo. He has since passed on, so I sure his art may be hard to get.

There was an artist who's name escapes me. His stuff used to appear in Baseball Digest. He used to draw stadiums with images of famous plays that occurred in that particular ballpark around it. I loved those pics and have been wanting a print of Yankee Stadium. Just need to find out his name.
