Lot 351. Ebbets Field “A Field in Flatbush” Print and Brick. Built in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn and opened in 1913, Ebbets Field served as home to the Dodgers until 1957. The ball park was demolished in 1960 to make way for an apartment building. From a painting by Bill Levers, the 25” x 23” lithograph presents a 22.75” x 17” image of the Ebbets Field exterior in the 1950s. Below the image is a section of brick removed from the rotunda area during demolition. It is attached to the glass of the 25.5” x 23.5” frame. Text to the left and right says “An Authentic Piece of Baseball History.” In pencil, the title of the lithograph is written above. The print is numbered 1512 of 1957 at the left, and Levers signed it in pencil at the right. Kevin Keating authenticated Levers’ autograph.
Winning Bid $150.
Lot 463. Stunning Original Painting Signed by Roberts, Niekro, Jenkins and Ozzie Smith. This acrylic-on-canvas painting by former major leaguer Gene Locklear features life-like, detailed images of Robin Roberts, Phil Niekro, Fergie Jenkins and Ozzie Smith. Each Hall of Fame star has placed a large gem mint 10 autograph, authenticated by Kevin Keating, near his image. Locklear produced the painting, which is about 41.5” x 71” framed to 46.5” x 77”, at a Baseball Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp. The player images surround the Baseball Hall of Fame logo and a Little League player. At the bottom, the painting is signed by Locklear and several other players who attended the camp. Locklear had a five-season MLB career as an outfielder with the Reds, Padres and Yankees. A full-blooded Lumbee, he paints Native American portraits and scenes, as well as sports art. This original painting is dramatic, and unique!
