“Diamond Dreams, Philadelphia”

description: “DIAMOND DREAMS, PHILADEPHIA.” A just-completed oil painting celebrating 150 years of Philadelphia baseball history! I have published this image as a 24 x 36” signed offset lithograph for $60.00 plus $10.00 shipping. It can be ordered from my STORE. It is also available in giclee canvas print format.

DESCRIPTION: The painting features Bryce Harper hitting his famous home run against the Padres in the 2022 NLCS. He is surrounded by 30+ Philadelphia baseball figures from the past 150 years. Starting from the vignette in the upper left-hand corner, that’s Robin Roberts on the mound. Below him to the left are announcers Richie ‘Whitey” Ashburn, Harry Kalas, and By Saam. Continuing counter-clockwise is Slim Jones of the Negro League Philadelphia Stars in the lower left corner vignette. Then come Gary Maddox (Phillies), Lefty Grove (Philadelphia A’s), Gene Benson (Philadelphia Stars), Eddie Collins (A’s), Ed Delahanty (Quakers/Phillies), Frank ‘Home Run” Baker (A’s), Grover Cleveland Alexander (Phillies), Mike Schmidt (Phillies), Dick Allen (during ‘Richie” Allen era, Phillies), Connie Mack (Manager, A’s), and Jimmy Foxx (A’s). Top right vignette is Steve Carlton, top center vignette depicts the entrance to Shibe Park with Benjamin Shibe (in bowler hat) to the left.

PLAYERS ON CARDS: From the top: Jim Bunning and Tug McGraw, Octavius Catto (black and white photo, founder of Philadelphia Pythians Club), card on it side is Michael Doolan (Phillies), Richie Ashburn (Phillies), to his left (black-bordered card) Tony Taylor (Phillies), beneath Ashburn is Chase Utley (Phillies), beneath Taylor is Chuck Klein (Phillies), to the left Jimmy Rollins (Phillies), below is Mickey Cochrane, next to him Andrews (Philadelphia Quakers), bottom right card with purple background is Shoeless Joe Jackson (A’s). Above him (card with orange background) is Erskine Mayer (Phillies)….also featured are World Series tickets from 1950 and from 1964 (which never took place as the Phillies collapsed in the final two weeks of the season).

SETTING: The setting is Shibe Park but with elements from different eras. Spectators watch from the rooftops at right (before the erection of the ‘spite fence’). The game is game 2 of the 1950 World Series, with Joe DiMaggio at the plate, hitting the home run that won that game. This was the only World Series the Phillies played in that park, during its ‘Connie Mack Stadium” days. The advertisements are classic Philadelphia products Goldenberger’s Peanut Chews and Esslinger Ale. oil on canvas
