1999 Cal Ripken Orioles LeRoy Neiman Hand Painted Baseball Signed by Nieman

This Rawlings OAL Budig baseball has been hand painted by legendary artist LeRoy Neiman, who has rendered an incredible interpretative portrait of shortstop Cal Ripken as a Baltimore Oriole. Using predominantly orange, pink, and blue shades, Neiman depicts with his unique style the great slugger waiting for a pitch and again stretching to catch a ball. The painting takes up more than a full panel on the ball and is accented with a wonderful blue that represents the sky. Neiman has signed this one of a kind artwork baseball in black ink on the sweet spot and dated it "99." Neiman also wrote "Cal Ripken Jr., Baltimore Orioles" in black ink on the side panel. A true keepsake, as Neiman is primarily known for his canvas paintings and lithographs. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
