You people are so dog-gone unsophisticated when it comes to fine art.
Note the stellar composition and bold brushstrokes of this masterpiece...

Even as a little boy before I knew what Major League baseball was I was fascinated by this Norman Rockwell painting, The Dugout. What is ironic about it is at the time the painting was made, 1948, the Cubs were just a couple of years past being a successful and storied franchise, it was the years after this painting was made that the Cubs were a laughingstock organization a majority of the time. I never knew the story behind the painting until I googled it a few minutes ago, Cubs manager Charlie Grimm and Cubs players Bob Rush, Johnny Schmitz, and Rube Walker agreed to pose for the original photo and the batboy was actually a Boston Braves batboy who agreed to put on a Cubs uniform for the shoot.

Almost too many to list, but the comic book style artwork from Daniel Horine.

Love those comic books! Oh to be a kid again in the 'fifties - Topps cards, Superboy comics, the Lone Ranger on TV and Ike in the White House.
A couple of odd items that I like: "Saturday Afternoon at Sportsman's Park" by Edward Laning (1944). Got your baseball, got your cold beverage of moderation. Pretty idyllic.  "Safe at Home Plate" - The New Yorker Aug 27, 1949 Speaks to the inner kid of anybody who dreamed of someday playing in the Bigs.  Number one favorite artwork in my collection: Joe Wood as seen by Karl Horner in 1909 and depicted by Graig Kreindler a century later.    Have a nice Sunday, everybody.

I'm trying to use filters and such to turn my obsession with the 1972 Willie Mays card into perhaps a Van Gogh (pronounced "Van Goff"
 ) t-shirt design...1972maysvangoghSM.jpg

The Three Umpires by Norman Rockwell is in Cooperstown.
The home plate umpire extending his hand is John “Beans” Reardon. Reardon umpired in the National League from 1926 to 1949—including five World Series and three All-Star games—before leaving the profession at age 52 to manage a beer business. He is one of the most memorable umpires in the history of the game, both for his tendency to swear at the players when he argued with them and for the great stories he told even after he left the game. Reardon also had a unique look, wearing a distinctive blue and white polka-dot bowtie (instead of the usual necktie used in the National League at the time), although there is little detail of it in The Three Umpires. Prominent in the painting is the inflated, American League chest protector then worn by Reardon even though Reardon was a National League umpire, and he was supposed to wear a smaller chest protector underneath his coat. To the left of Reardon is base umpire Larry Goetz. Goetz umpired in the National League from 1936 to 1956, appearing in three World Series and two All-Star games. To the right of Reardon is base umpire Lou Jorda, who umpired in the National League from 1927 to 1931 and again from 1940 to 1952. He worked in two All-Star Games and two World Series. Jorda is wearing the traditional necktie in the painting. The Pirates manager is Billy Meyer. Meyer managed the Pirates for five seasons (1948–52), with his teams finishing in the first division in only one year and finishing in last place in two seasons. Clyde Sukeforth, a Dodgers coach, is the person arguing with Meyer. As a scout, Sukeforth was instrumental in bringing Jackie Robinson to the Dodgers and Roberto Clemente to the Pirates.
