Referees are for football or soccer. I don't know much about baseball except it's a lot like cricket—a handful of players, a bat, a ball, and runs to score.Prashant C.

It's a familiar sight on the Indian cricket ground. In fact, someone's got to do similar paintings of cricket and some of its legends. You're right there's no information about the two paintings you mentioned, the "Baseball" and "Dream". All I found was that the "Dream" painting was the cover art for "Sunday Magazine of the Minneapolis Journal," June 18, 1911, and is titled "Some Day", artist unknown. The painting of the boy who dreams of making it big "some day" appears to have been quite popular at the time. Prashant C.

Unfortunately, where football, and to an even greater degree baseball, are concerned we are totally out of our depth and have no knowledge of either the games themselves let alone any of these artists. But all hugely interesting and fun to be connected to a topic outside our experience.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
