"The Human Vacum Cleaner - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W During the course of history in the Big Leagues, colorful nicknames are often placed on players. In many cases, the name so closely represents what the player is all about, that the nickname becomes a lasting description of the player ™s contributions to the long history of the game. �The Iron Horse �, �Teddy Ballgame �, �Old ™ Reliable �, �The Say Hey Kid �, �The Mick �. The list is endless. At the top of this list is third baseman, Brooks Robinson. His defensive skills were unparalleled. Using his incredible reactions, quick throwing release, and amazingly soft hands, he revolutionized fielding at third. He could turn momentum around in a heartbeat with a portfolio of highlight reel plays: Diving to the line, diving into the hole, fielding a slow roller down the line. His array of heart stopping defensive magic could break the back and spirit of an opponent and earned him the"

"Vintage Lou - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W In 1923, a young player from New York broke into the big leagues with the home town Yankees. He joined a team that was the defending American League Champion, loaded with excellent players, and led by perhaps the most charismatic player ever, Babe Ruth. As such, Lou Gehrig had a bit role on the 1923 and 1924 teams, On June 1, 1925, Gehrig pinch hit, and then the next day, in a story that lives in the lore of baseball, first baseman Wally Pip had a headache, and was replaced at first base by Gehrig. Lou, often referred to as the Iron Horse, would start every game until 1939, amassing a record of 2130 consecutive games played. The record would stand almost 50 fifty years until broken by Cal Ripken, Jr. Lou Gehrig, who would ultimately succumb to illness, remains one of the most revered players to put on a baseball uniform."

"Opening Day 1929 - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W The Bronx Bombers were in a position that would become all too familiar at the start of the 1929 season. They were anxious to take the field as defending World Champions, having swept St. Louis in the previous year ™s World Series. It was the second consecutive Series sweep for the mighty New Yorkers, as they had also swept Pittsburgh in the 1927 series. This team, already being hailed as the greatest ever, was itching to defend their back to back titles. However, bad weather had forced a two day delay in opening the season, but finally on April 18, 1929 the weather broke enough to allow the raising of the championship banner and the first game of the new campaign. Playing under cold, graying skies and to a near capacity crowd, which included heavy weight champion Jack Dempsey, these New Yorkers set the tone for what they thought would be another great march through the American League.

"The Bronx Bombers - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �W X 21 �H In the long history of baseball, there have been many tandems that would define a lineup. Sluggers imbedded in the middle of a batting order that would dominate a game and pound opposing pitchers into submission. The two names almost synonymous with one another: Mays and McCovey, Aaron and Mathews, Mantle and Maris. However, the standard bearer for such a combination is clearly the first such duet, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. The tandem that gave the Yankees their nickname, the Bronx Bombers, would attach pitching staffs like no other. They hit more home runs than entire teams and led the Yankees and baseball into an era of long ball that exists to this day. Here we see them relaxing at the bat rack in the home dugout at Yankee Stadium, studying the opposing pitcher like a tiger studies their prey."

"The Bambino - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W The Bambino, The Sultan of Swat, The Babe, nicknames for arguably the greatest performer in the history of organized American sports, George Herman Ruth. From a rough upbringing in Baltimore to the heights of the baseball world, Babe Ruth had a legendary zest for life. On the ball field, there was never a competitor that achieved his level of success. He broke in with the Boston Red Sox as a 19 year old pitcher in 1914, throwing just 23 innings. In 1915, he won 18 games, and followed that up with consecutive 20 win seasons in 1916 and 1917. He was among the elite pitchers of his time, and amazingly never lost a start when pitching against Washington ace, Walter Johnson. Ruth was a mainstay of a pitching staff that saw the Red Sox capture World Series titles in 1915, 1916, and 1918. The Red Sox and the rest of the American League did notice something else about the Babe on days that he pitched. That man could swing the"

"Thurm an' Fisk - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - approx 20X26 The 1970 ™s brought a huge revival to the great baseball rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees. Both teams were rising from the ashes of years of mediocrity and were buoyed by their young all star catchers, both American League Rookie of the Year award winners, New York ™s Thurman Munson (1970) and Boston ™s Carlton Fisk (1972). The spirit and fire of this rivalry seemed to be embodied in the competitiveness in these two determined backstops. Their grit and passion seemed to energize their teammates and fans. Many a game between these two teams were spiked with an edge that made it seem at any moment the dugouts would empty and there would be a full fledged free-for-all on the field. Here we see a moment in the Bronx. It looks like Fisk has just taken a pitch that was a little to close for his liking. Having said something to counterpart, Munson removes his mask and glares back, almost invit"

"Ironman - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W The drive to compete. The drive to excel. Every day. Every game. A local kid from Maryland broke into the big leagues as a third baseman with the Baltimore Orioles in 1981. The following season, on may 30, 1982, in the team ™s 46th game of the year, Cal Ripken, Jr. Was penciled into the starting lineup. It would be sixteen years and 2,632 games before the Baltimore Orioles would have a starting line-up without his name in it. He shattered the longevity record of 2,130 games set by the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig - a feat that most baseball observers thought was unattainable by any other player. Cal Ripken Jr., the ultimate competitor, transformed the position of shortstop. He was a gold glove caliber fielder who brought power to the position of shortstop like few before him could do, and he had the uncanny ability to come up with the biggest hits when the lights were shining their brightest.

"Satchel - Standard Giclee on Canvas Framed - 27 �H X 21 �W �I ain ™t ever had a job, I always just played baseball. � One of the many expressions attributed to the eloquent Leroy �Satchel � Paige. A dominant pitcher in the Negro Leagues, he unfortunately didn ™t get his shot in the big leagues until he was 41 in 1948. During that season, he went 6-1 for the World Champion Cleveland Indians. Paige toiled in the Negro leagues for twenty years, and was most known for his famous hesitation pitch. He was very outspoken about the abilities of his fellow Negro League performers and was instrumental in getting Negro League teams games into existing big league ball parks. Perhaps the most telling tidbit of his pitching ability occurred in 1965, when, at age 59, he was signed by the Kansas City Athletics and pitched in one game against a Boston Red Sox team that included Carl Yaztremski and Tony Conigliaro.
