Willie Mays, Fabulous c. 1970 Large Child's Drawing on Cardboard cobalt blue but I loved it way

but I loved it way way too much to leave it behind

a version of which is featured in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum

but still reads bright and crisp

Willie Mays, Fabulous c. 1970 Large Child's Drawing on Cardboard cobalt blue but I loved it wayThis is one of three 1970 marker drawings done by a child depicting specific athletes, all of which I think are just fabulous. Here we have Willie Mays wearing his #24 jersey (looking a bit like Joseph's coat of many colors, with two different colors for the pant legs peeking out below, too!) and what I take for a ball in black headed (with tail it's moving so fast!) toward his orange bat! Great face, too, but my favorite may be the catcher in green
