Schmidty Goes Deep

12" x 12" oil on masonite

Growing up in PA, I was a long-suffering Philadelphia Phillies baseball fan. I really began to follow them closely in the early 1970s. One of the bright spots was a 3rd baseman, Mike Schmidt. The terrific infield of Dave Cash (2nd Base), Larry Bowa (Shortstop), and Schmidt at 3rd provided the team with its nucleus for the mid-70s thru early 80s. They won the World Series over the Kansas City Royals in 1980. Ah, the memories.
