George Sosnak hand painted 1974 Detroit Tigers- George Sosnak Folk Art Baseball, Signed Perhaps only Leroy Neiman's name is more recognizable to collectors when it comes to the field of sports art. And while the styles of these two celebrated artists couldn't be more different, their love and appreciation for the subjects of their work is evident. George Sosnak began his career in baseball as an umpire of military games in Germany after the Second World War, later attending umpiring school in Florida, where he called balls and strikes at Detroit Tigers Spring Training games. It was around this time that Sosnak began to develop his distinctive folk art style, characterized by charmingly crude figures and painstakingly rendered text and statistics applied with almost mathematical precision. Wonderful work by this talented folk artist is made all the more appealing by the handpainted seams. Sosnak would paint over the signatures to enhance them, but you're buying this because you want to own a Sosnak baseball. It's been signed by 24 including: Al Kaline, John Hiller, Gates Brown, Aurelio Rodriguez, Woodie Fryman, Jim Northrup, and Ralph Houk. Inexpensive way to pickup a Sosnak ball $650
