Charles Fazzino may have outdone himself on this one. Tohonor the great Mickey Mantle the 3-D pop artist has given this baseball theroyal treatment with even more bright colors and sparkly features than histypical artwork reveals. A large glittered New York Yankees logo across thesweet spot leads into a left panel (left of sweet spot that is) full of Mantle’smany individual achievements highlighted by his 1956 Triple Crown—one of threeMVP seasons. The right panels picks up where those accomplishments have leftoff featuring a large pinstriped No. 7 at center underscored with his famous small-townbig-star nickname “The Commerce Comet.” The top panel has a 3-dimensionalYankees logo at the foot of Mantle’s famed jersey with a glistening “7” in shinyblue and “The Mick” in blue above.
The bottom panel is the highlight of this original 1-of-1 masterpieceliterally painting the picture of perhaps Mantle’s most incredible feat: hisfamous walk-off home run on May 22 1963 that hit the facade of the YankeeStadium roof above right field and is widely considered the farthest a ball hasever been hit. It was truly the stuff of legends an almost mythological humanfeat that traveled an estimated 734 feet! The artist has signed the oppositeside of the ball (where the brand label would be) in black pen. Despite thefact that this particular piece does not have Mantle’s autograph it is certainlyone of Fazzino’s finest efforts and one that would surely put a smile on TheMick’s face. Presents in Mint nearly pristine condition.
