This Rawlings OAL Budig baseball has been hand painted by legendary artist LeRoy Neiman, who has rendered an incredible interpretative portrait of slugger Mark McGwire as a Cardinal. Using predominantly red, yellow, blue green, and purple, Neiman depicts with his unique style the great slugger following through on a swing. The painting takes up more than a full panel on the ball. Neiman has signed this one of a kind artwork baseball in black ink on the top panel and dated it "Dec. 16, 2000." Neiman has also painted the name "Mark McGwire" in red above his own signature. A true keepsake, as Neiman is primarily known for his canvas paintings and lithographs. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
