Professional artist -quality acrylic paints were used for the glove art and it has been sealed with a matte acrylic coating.

Nicknamed "The Splendid Splinter", "Teddy Ballgame", "The Thumper" and "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived" -- "The Kid" was apparently his preference.

Williams played his entire 19-year career for the Boston Red Sox, playing left field.

Number 9 (retired by the Red Sox) is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, winning AL MVP twice, six batting titles and the triple crown twice.

His .406 batting average in 1941 was the last time any player hit over .400. His career batting average was .344 and he had 521 home runs.

Ted Williams was elected into the Hall of Fame in 1966. He managed the Senators/Rangers from 1969 to 1972.

Painted Gloves teams up with the Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Camp

Pleased to announce that I'll be guest of the Brewers Fantasy Camp in January.

Helping to add to the fun on tap for the players, I'm creating special baseball glove paintings for the Fantasy Camp and more.

Custom baseball glove art being created for the camp includes this Bergino Mini-Glove adorned with the Brewers Fantasy Camp logo. Love that classic 'mb' glove logo!

Also on the glove is a glimpse of Beer Barrel Man, a Milwaukee baseball icon going back to the 1940s when the Brewers were a minor league club. 

And the logo word 'Milwaukee', as it appeared on their road jerseys back in the 1980s. All this on a glove that's only 6 inches tall meant to hold business cards.

While in Phoenix with the camp I'll be making an presentation about my work and will have glove paintings featuring players on display.

Glove art with player portraits commissioned by the Brewers will be unveiled at Camp in January.

Big league thanks to the Brewers Fantasy Camp team for inviting me to contribute to the camp experience. Follow Brewers Fantasy Camp on Facebook and Twitter.

If you'll be in Phoenix area January 21-24 and would like to see my work, please contact me.

And if you're interested in a custom mini-glove painting with your team or corporate logo, let's talk.

Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Exhibit: Latin Beisbol Art

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City opened their "Negro Leagues Beisbol" exhibit last week (May 16, 2014).

The exhibit includes a collection of five glove paintings featuring players who exemplified the relationship between the Negro Leagues and Latin baseball.

A glove painting I created highlighting the career of Cuban great Martin Dihigo made its public debut at the VIP Sponsors Opening Night Celebration held at the museum. 

The artwork on a vintage 1940s glove is now part of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's permanent collection.

The new exhibit explores the rich cultural and historical connection between American-born Negro Leaguers and players of Hispanic descent, who often played in each other's leagues. 

Five Painted Gloves on display at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Kansas City.

Other art in the exhibit includes Willie Mays and Hank Aaron glove paintings, both of whom played in the Negro Leagues and in Latin American.

The great Puerto Rican Roberto Clemente is also represented on a painted glove in the exhibit.

Another Cuban great, Minnie Minoso, is represented on a glove painting in the exhibit. While maybe best known as a Chicago White Sox player, Minoso was active in the Negro Leagues and the Cuban League, where he won Rookie of the Year in 1945-46.

The opening celebration included many former Negro League players, including Enrique Maroto, Pedro Sierra, George Altman and others.

With museum president Bob Kendrick.

What great stories I got to hear, including what it was like to be starting pitcher in the East-West Negro Leagues All-Star game in front of 50,000 at old Comiskey Park. Priceless.

I also had the pleasure of visiting with museum supporters, former major leaguers Willie Wilson and Bobby Dernier, and the hard working team at the NLBM, including museum president Bob Kendrick and curator Dr. Ray Doswell.

And, all of this is taking place in Kansas City, where in 1920, Rube Foster lead the forming of the Negro National League.

The "Negro Leagues Beisbol" exhibit continues until September 30, 2014. The exhibit is presented by Sprint and the Kauffman Foundation and admission is free to the public.

Definitely plan to stop by 18th & Vine for an enriching experience and to learn about baseball's international heritage!

Glove Art for Richie Ashburn-Harry Kalas Foundation Dinner

The Richie Ashburn - Harry Kalas Foundation commissioned a custom painted glove as a fundraising item for their annual benefit dinner in Philadelphia last week (May 12, 2014).

A special vintage glove with a hand-painted rendition of the Foundation's handsome logo was created for the event, leaving plenty of space for player autographs.

Past and present Phillies signed the glove just before dinner was served, including Hall of Famer and Manager Ryne Sandberg and All-Star Ryan Howard (pictured above and below), Larry Bowa, Kyle Kendrick, Cody Asche, Gary 'The Sarge' Matthews, Ruben Amaro Sr., and Larry Anderson.

The 1940s Wilson glove became a one-of-a-kind keepsake for one lucky bidder during the evening's live auction.

Named after the Hall of Fame player and the Hall of Fame broadcaster, the Ashburn-Kalas Foundation provides free baseball camps for over 1,000 youths in the Philadelphia-area each summer.

A big thanks to the Ashburn-Kalas Foundation for asking me to create this custom artwork and for the opportunity to be a part of the event.

And this was an especially significant project for me. My first and favorite glove as a boy, the one that planted the seed for a love of classic gloves, was my dad's old childhood glove -- a Richie Asburn signature model. Incredible how life moments can come full circle sometimes.
