Baseball Glove Art featuring Buzz Arlett

Slugger Arlett Portrayed on Vintage Glove

"Buzz" Arlett of the Oakland Oaks painted on a vintage 1920s glove.

While not a household name, Arlett was voted all-time best minor league player by SABR (back in '84).

Pitched and played outfield. One season big leaguer for the Phillies in 1931.

Beloved by East Bay fans, Oakland named him "The Mightiest Oak of All-Time".

Acrylic painting and hand-lettering design to feature his achievements. Many, many hours to find an era-specific mitt and it's a beauty.

Baseball Glove Art featuring Addie Joss

Hall of Fame Pitcher Joss Portrayed on Vintage Glove

Cleveland pitcher Addie Joss painted on early 1900's baseball glove.

Dying at only 31 in 1911, Joss squeezed in 4-straight 20+ win seasons, 160 wins -- 45 of which were shutouts, a perfect game and no-hitter.

Joss was also a writer and engineer, designing an electric Ball/Strike scoreboard that Cleveland installed in League Park in 1909.

He was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978.

Dizzy Dean Baseball Glove Artwork Enters Hall of Fame's Permanent Collection

Fine Art Baseball Mitt by Artist Sean Kane Makes the Team at Cooperstown Museum

Dizzy to Cooperstown

My artwork featuring Hall of Fame pitcher "Dizzy" Dean on a hand-painted, vintage baseball glove is now part of the collection at The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The painting was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame collection by their Acquisitions Committee in early 2019. It was presented to Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson in March.

Sean Kane and Hall of Fame president, Jeff Idelson, with Dizzy Dean painted glove artwork.

Glove as Canvas

The artwork is a painted 1930's era Spalding baseball glove highlighting the eccentric, colorful Hall of Fame pitcher and ace of the St. Louis Cardinals staff from 1930-37. The "Gashouse Gang" won the 1934 World Series during Dizzy's MVP year.

Previous blog post about the Dizzy Dean painting >>

Hall of Fame Art Collection

The Dean painted glove joins approximately 1700 works of art in The Hall of Fame's collection, which began when the museum was founded in 1936 and includes works by Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol.

The Hall of Fame acquires "works of art that contribute to the Museum’s mission of preserving history, honoring excellence, and connecting generations."

The painting will be part of the revolving of works on view in the “Art of Baseball” gallery or it will become part of the Dizzy Dean artifacts display, according to the Hall of Fame.

According to the Hall of Fame’s collections director, they have never seen or had another painted glove in the collection.

Dizzy at the Hall

References to Dizzy aren’t hard to find at Cooperstown. Besides the artifact display containing his Cardinals jersey, a photo pin and items from his teammates, even his cowboy hat from his broadcasting days is in the broadcast wing of the Museum.

A Home Run

I'm incredibly honored to have my art, my interest in the game and its history recognized by the Hall.

If the painting sparks interest in Dizzy, the era he played in or prompts conversations between generations of visitors to the Hall, then that's as good as a home run to me!

Many thanks to the folks at the Hall of Fame, to those who have encouraged and supported me, and those who enjoy the art I make!

Dizzy was painted in 2016 and has previously been a part of a group exhibit in North Carolina.

Phillies Celebrate the Flyin' Hawaiian with Baseball Glove Artwork

Shane Victorino Presented with Painted Glove

Shane Victorino Baseball Glove Art

The Philadelphia Phillies honored Victorino during a pre-game ceremony on August 3 at Citizens Bank Park, presenting him with this one-of-a-kind painting as recognition of his All-Star Phillies career.

A post shared by Baseball Art by Sean Kane ⚾🎨 (@paintedgloves) on Aug 4, 2018 at 4:42am PDT

The "Flyin' Hawaiian", a two-time All-Star, won three NL Gold Glove Awards over eight seasons in Philly and was part of their 2008 Championship team.

Shane's celebration after hitting his pivotal grand slam in Game 2 of the 2008 NL Division Series is featured, too.

For this painting commission, the Phillies chose photo references and sourced an Akadema baseball glove just like the one Shane used in the outfield.

Creating the Victorino Glove Artwork

The painting was created with acrylic paints and on an Akadema outfielders glove. Once the team selected from a variety of designs I presented using photos they chose, work began on preparing and painting the glove. This included hand-lettering of text, Phillies logo and portrait painting.

The tight space in the glove required chopping the brush handle in half so I could fit it and my hand in there to paint.

Baseball Artwork for the Philadelphia Phillies

This is my fourth painting for the Phillies. Previously I painted catcher "Chooch" Ruiz, a glove for Ryan Howard, which was also presented in an on-field ceremony at Citizens Bank Park, and painted base for Jim Thome.

Thanks to the Phillies for partnering with me to create this special gift and here's to Shane enjoying this keepsake artwork for years to come.
