1) 1947 Willard Mullin signed original artwork featuring his famous cartoon creation " The Brooklyn Bum." The bum talks about the sad fact that the Dodgers' leading home run hitter had just 11 the year before and the last time they won the pennant in 1941 Dolph Camilli had 34. He ends by asking if Johnny Mize could be the answer. Includes two large sketches of the bum and one each of Camilli and Mize. Artwork measures 15" by 18" and is framed to a size of 24" by 27".
2) Early 1950's Willard Mullin signed original artwork entitled "The Wings of Spring" again featuring the Brooklyn Bum this time wearing a horse collar and talking about how the pitchers are usually ahead of the hitters during Spring training. He also mentions that there have already been three no-hitters thrown so far. Artwork measures 14 1/2" by 18 1/2" and is framed to a size of 22 1/2" by 26 1/2".
