Baseballidays Partners with Negro League Baseball Museum
|
I’m excited to announce my participation in a special partnership between the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) and the #arts & #smallbusiness community.
In the words of @nlbmprez Bob Kendrick, “We are overwhelmed by the tremendous show of solidarity from the artist community, who are sharing their amazing talent in this unprecedented salute to the Negro Leagues and in support of the @nlbmuseumkc.” During the week of October 4-10, more than 80 artists, makers, and small retailers will participate in an online benefit sales event for the #NLBM in #kansascity. Participating artists and small-business owners from Asia, Europe, and North America will create original art pieces and fan-gear while hosting sales events and auctions on our own websites and social media pages. Baseballidays is very proud to be standing together with the arts and small business community, to celebrate the heroes of the Negro Leagues and raise valuable funding for the NLBM. Please come support the NLBMArt community and celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Negro Leagues at www.nlbmart.com. When you shop with us October 4-10, proceeds from sales will be donated to the NLBM.com. Each vendor will be offering their own special deals and their own unique arts and hand-crafted merchandise. Thank you for supporting the Arts and Small Business community! #nlbmart #tipyourcap2020 #nlbm100 #baseball #art #baseballart#negroleagues #baseballidays #fanmade |

My Most memorable commission to date
|
Just completed one of my most memorable commissions to date. I was asked by Rob Rosen, who is the son of Al Rosen - the 1953 MVP Award winning third-baseman for the Cleveland Indians - to create two menorahs out of commemorative bats issued in his name. I am ecstatic at how they came out. More importantly, so is Rob and his family. Tried a new "floating bat" installation, which worked great. It was an honor working with Rob on such important pieces for his all-star family. |

THE COLLECTION
Are you a true fan ?
|
|
From a happy customer
|
The glaringly bare walls of my courtroom have mocked me for the last two years. I took down the awful institutional art on day one but never replaced it and it was bothering me. Enter my good friend Gregg K. Garfinkel to the rescue. Gregg is a true Renaissance Man. A galactically respected attorney and a world class fisherman (although he says his boys are better). But for the last few years Gregg has developed talent as an artist. His medium...baseball gear!! Old bats, balls, gloves...you name it. My favorites are the flags he does. Mainly US flags using hand painted bats, balls and other items. In March I hung the first one...distressed stars and stripes on repurposed wood. Check it out. Today I hung one to make my Chicago peeps green with envy. I give you the Red, White and Tiffany Blue of the City of Chicago flag. “It might be, it could be...it is!!! A HOME RUN! |

For the fan that stays for the last pitch !

If getting to the game in the second inning is "okay" with you, then move along. This site is for true fans only - the type of fan that arrives in time for batting practice and doesn't leave until the fat lady sings. The fan whose love of the game shows on his sleeve and on her front door. The fan that is authentic, like the goods we sell at Baseballidays.

Although made in Los Angeles, there is no plastic here - only products which are handmade out of 100 % professional leather baseballs (unless you want something made out of Johnny or Johanna's first dinger). So, if you are true fan who demands products made out of the heart of the hide, take a look. Thanks for stopping by.
