This marvelous folk art painted baseball was presented to Cuban Hall of Famer Mike Fornielles from his teammate Mario Diaz, whose work is quite reminiscent of the artistry of American George Sosnak. Fornielles has also single-signed the ball, a real rarity. Created for a teammate, hence the care and the artistry, the subject is the mascot of the Marianao Tigers and is artist-signed. Opposite panel is a Christmas sled. Winter in Cuba?
