Incredible piece capturing a great catch. Beautiful artwork by famous sports cartoonist Ray Gotto of Frank Robinson robbing the Yankees' Roy White of a home run by diving into the stands at Yankee Stadium on June 21, 1966. Story of catch is told throughout art. Measures 18"x13".

These select pieces were saved by one of the original owners of The Sporting News Original Art Archives. Coming directly from The Sporting News, they were purchased at auction in the 1990s. These represent some of the better images by the finest artists including Willard Mullin, Karl Hubenthal, Leo O’Melia and the unsung hero, Lou Darvas.
