Baseball Art Creative Or Classic....... Theme Image Thread

A couple taken at the local little league complex. I printed a nice 8.5x11 of the Season Over image, mounted and matted it for 11x14, and gave it to my oldest grandson's coach this summer. He said he had the perfect spot for it in his sports-themed "man-cave". :)

The ultimate gift and office, home or studio decoration for Red Sox Nation and the die hard Red Sox fan. Red Sox Nation at Boston Fenway Park with pitcher Jon Lester on the way to a no-hitter how could you have Lester leave town :-(

Louis Cardinals World Series playoff game 6 on 30 October 2013 in Boston. Boston on the brink of making history leading by 6 in the 6th inning. Prudential Center lights are lit up with the message Go Sox towering across the city - What a heck of a night and memory :-)

I would have to paint my mother - it's too late for that - and I'm not that good of a painter. Young - I never gave much thought as to how much my mother loved baseball - almost obsessed sometimes, keeping stats while listening on the radio. Certainly she would rather listen to baseball than fish - unless the fish were 'really biting'.

At this risk of this becoming simply a Red Sox/ Fenway thread rather then Baseball as a whole, here's my aerial shots of Fenway from last year.

Joshua this thread is for whoever will post their baseball related art if that is what we get

that will have to do. Thanks for adding yours. And to those who have added theirs as well!

The one in the middle is my Dad who was a hell of a baseball guy.

My first Major League Foul Ball caught at Baltimore's Camden Yards - Baltimore Orioles Vs Tampa Bay Rays - Kevin Kiermeier Foul Ball, 1st half of the 1st inning on Friday June 27th at 1:05 pm, Section 46 Row 19 Seat 9.

The ball took a huge bounce from a section behind me. It had a lot of spin on it and I had my DSLR with a long lens in my right hand so I jumped a bit to make sure I out-reached the guy next to me and caught it with my left hand.

Funny, I had told myself the night before that if a ball were to come to me, I would use my hat to catch it but when the time actually came, all THAT went out the window and I went with my instincts, reflex, and some little league training. ;)

Your image thread was a kick in the butt for me to add my baseball images to my account.

Haha Joshua...I can see that. Here's some New York Yankees images thrown into the fray.

1) Vintage image of the Old Yankee Stadium in sepia.
2) Shop facade with New York Yankees baseball hat and Uncle Sam hat on building.

Yo maybe you will sell some and then wonder why you did not add them sooner.

Baseball season is getting to the grand fine-a-lee not too far away so got to post-em

while you got their attention! ;)


I started a new group for bats, balls, baseball hats, and baseball gloves if anyone

has those items. Not many joined yet and looks like only my work. So help a body

out by joining. The link is at the top of this thread. Not taking stadiums or people

right now unless it is too sparse for the items I listed but for now just those tool type

baseball items.

You got it Andee...I have a hat image I can put through. :)

Thanks Joann!

I edited the rules of my group to take baseball stadiums and statues unless I get too many.

Remember when you were a kid and thought you would be more than happy to play in the big leagues for nothing...
Before it was a business, it was a game...

That's great Andee...that opens it up for me a bit! :)

Next image in my baseball series...

Six miles down the road from my home growing up was the small town of Sudlersville where I went to school on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. That's also the town where the great Jimmy Foxx grew up. The town finally erected a memorial statue to him on it's four corners in the middle of town...

Glad to see more folks join the new group! Thanks!

Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards in Baltimore

The city of Baltimore and state of Maryland have been home to some of the world's greatest athletes and teams. On May 14, 2005, the region gained a world-class museum in which to showcase its sporting heroes. Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards in Baltimore occupies the the basement and first floor of historic Camden Station.

Opened in 1856, Camden Station served as the grand passenger terminus for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the country's first commercial railroad. For a period of time it dominated Baltimore's skyline as the city's tallest building, as it was designed to be taller than the Washington Monument.

Today, the museum features 22,000-square-feet of artifacts and interactive exhibits about, among others, Maryland's baseball, football, and lacrosse histories. It is home to both the Orioles and Maryland Athletic halls of fame.
