This recently discovered artist's rendering depicts a proposed "rebirth" for Cincinnati's Crosley Field, which never materialized. The tempura-on-board piece shows what was to have been a complex with alternate adjacent baseball fields. It measures roughly 26x36" in its wood frame and reads: "THE POWEL CROSLEY BASEBALL COMPLEX" in the lower-right corner. Ten years later, Riverfront Stadium was built instead, but one can clearly see the architectural similarities.
