Premier sports folk artist George Sosnak combined his terrific skills with a passion for baseball to make special items extraordinary. This ball is one of several available in this auction and is dedicated to the career of New York Yankees fan favorite Phil Rizzuto. The Scooter's signature is on the side panel and has been enhanced by Sosnak, the ball includes sections dedicated to his regular season and World Series stats, and he is interestingly portrayed during his broadcasting days as he is in a jacket and tie with a WCBS radio flag. Sosnak's trademark eye for color and detail shines through in this true work of Americana art.
