Lot Essay

Intricately hand painted baseball by noted folk artist George Sosnak depicting the tradition of U.S. Presidents throwing out the first pitch of the MLB season at the Washington Senators home game. Various scenes across every available square inch of the ball including Taft, Truman, Nixon, and the US Presidential seal. Very fine original condition with rich color and exquisite attention to detail. The ball was originally within the personal collection of Hall of Fame member Gary Carter and includes related certificate of provenance: EX-MT
