Lot 173. 1997 Original Oil Painting of Suitcase Simpson by Andy Jurinko. In the 1990s, Jurinko embarked upon a project to paint the images of more than 600 baseball players from an era that he loved, the 1950s and 1960s. What he called the “Jurinko Project” culminated in the posthumous publication of the portraits last year in the coffee table book “Golden Boys: Baseball Portraits, 1946-1960.” Jurinko died in 2011. The 8” x 10” portrait of Simpson is nm-m and framed. Harry “Suitcase” Simpson was a well traveled outfielder and first baseman. In eight seasons, he played for five teams and found himself in a Kansas City Athletics uniform from 1955-59, with a break in 1957-58 to play for the Yankees.
