Rollie Fingers, almost as famous for his handlebar mustache as his pitching, retired at the end of his 17-year career as the greatest relief pitcher in baseball. This painting immortalizes Rollie on the mound in his Milwaukee Brewers uniform, winding up for a pitch. Done in a combination of acrylic and airbrush, this painting was done on a stretched canvas measuring 24" x 36" x 1.5" with no unsightly staples, allowing it to be beautifully displayed with or without framing. Inset to the right is a closeup of Fingers, airbrushed for likeness and clarity. The green wall in the background features a "Miller Lite" sign to honor Miller Lite's support of this project. The painting is signed in the lower right corner by "D. Arrigo," the artist, in black marker. Proceeds from this item go to the Baseball Assistance Team.
