The Thrill

#22 Will Clark - "The Thrill" - 9" x 12" Acrylic on paper. Will the Thrill homered in his first major league at bat against none other than Nolan Ryan. I loved the way Clark competed and I like that he is a hunter and outdoors man. Played college ball at Mississippi State and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. Other notable double 2s - Jim Palmer and Bill Buckner. Brett Butler and Roland Office wore 22 for the Braves. #21 is a no-brainer and one of the all-time greats.

Giant Kick

#27 Juan Marichal - "Giant Kick" - 9" x 12" Acrylic on paper. Juan won more games in the 60's than any other pitcher. Famously won the "greatest game ever pitched" by beating the Braves Warren Spahn in 16 innings - both pitched the whole game. Mays homered off of Spahn in the 16th to win it 1-0. I almost went with Vladimir Guerrero but the leg kick won out in the end. Also seriously considered Carlton Fisk. Braves who wore 27 - Lonnie Smith and Pascual Perez. McGriff wore 27 with Braves for 5 years but wore 29 for most of his career. #26 is up next. 

This one will not be a pitcher.

The Freak

The Giants took game one last night. Although I am pulling for the Rangers, I am a big fan of "The Freak" - Tim Lincecum. Here is a quick sketch / painting I just completed of the San Francisco Ace.
