ORP Auction LOT18 - Jackie Robinson Steals Home



AUCTION LINK: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/141905757211

Few things evoke America in the 20th century as much as Jackie Robinson stealing home in the 1955 World Series.  There's nobody else like number 42.  He broke major league baseball's color barrier, endured a career of horrible treatment by the baseball establishment, but above all else kept at it and was a damn great player and let's not forget: he stole home.  In the World Series.  Against the Yankees. On Yogi Berra too !

I love baseball and Jackie Robinson's baseball legend and it was really fun to make this painting and I hope you like it too.
