Hildebrand Depicted on Leather Baseball Glove
“Hildy” is celebrated with this hand-painted portrait on a glove similar to the style he wore while pitching for the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns and New York Yankees.
Oral Hildebrand’s All-Star appearance in 1933 is highlighted in hand-painted type. He had a 16-11 record in ‘33 and led the American League in shutouts with six.
"Hildy", a Southport, Indiana, native, played baseball and basketball at Butler University in Indianapolis. He led the Butler University basketball team to the 1929 national collegiate championship and was the captain of the 1930 squad.
Hildebrand began his major league career in 1931 pitching for the Cleveland Indians. This glove art portrays him in his Indians pinstripes.
The glove he is depicted wearing in the painting is a very close match to the vintage 1930s glove that is used as the "canvas" for the artwork.
Hildy went on to pitch for the St. Louis Browns for two seasons, in 1937-38.
In 1939, Hildebrand joined the New York Yankees and went 10-4 with a career low 3.06 ERA. That Yankee team went on to win the World Series in '39. Hildy pitched in Game 4, pitching four shutout innings en route to the title.
1940 was his final big league season. Hildebrand finished his career with a 83-78 record and 4.35 ERA.
This artwork has over 120 hours invested in its creation, which includes researching his career and photo archives, sketching designs and sourcing the appropriate glove from an antiques dealer specializing in sports memorabilia, then painting.
