Both Sides of the Mitt – Lou Gehrig Baseball Glove Art

Legendary slugger Gehrig Portrayed on re-issued Mitt

Lou Gehrig Painted Glove featuring words from the day held in his honor at Yankee Stadium in 1939.

Hand-lettered text includes Gehrig’s famous quote, “Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth”, rendered it in a typeface popular in the 1930s.

Baseball art created by Sean Kane using a re-issue of a Ken-Wel first base mitt design from 1928, made by Akadema.

This custom commissioned artwork incorporates graphic and text elements from the trophy given to Gehrig at this event by his teammates (which is now at the Hall of Fame).

The two stars around Gehrig’s name on the front of the glove, the decorative band around the horseshoe-shape on the back along with the plaque quote are all based on the trophy from his teammates.

It was a real treat to get to paint on this new version of an old classic baseball mitt and to create a meaningful item for the biggest Gehrig fan I've come across.

The Painted Glove is displayed on a museum ‘spider’ stand along with the original hang-tag for the mitt.

Back of Gehrig painted baseball art on display stand and Ken-Wel / Akadema Certificate of Authenticity hang-tag.

Glove Art at Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Weekend

New Hall of Fame Members, Painted Gloves in Museum Store and Fans Come out to Play

It was a great pleasure to be part of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum Induction Weekend festivities in June after years without live events at the Ontario museum.

My baseball art on classic baseball gloves is now available in the museum store, which was on display during the Induction events.

Glove Art in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum shop.

Click photos above to view artwork on Canadian Hall of Fame’s web store.

After a few years without events, it was fun getting to talk with baseball fans who turned out for the induction of Pedro Martinez, Justin Morneau, Jeff Francis and Duane Ward into the Hall of Fame.

The Painted Gloves “Trunk Show” of original art, prints and cards was set up on the museum grounds.

I had the good fortune to meet Hall of Fame pitcher Fergie Jenkins, whom I featured on a Portrait Card as part of a fundraising effort last year. Fergie took time to autograph a card for the buyer of the Portrait Card artwork.

A Portrait Card painting of Andre Dawson was part of the Induction Weekend Golf Banquet prize package, which I helped present to the winner.

The Induction Weekend also coincided with the recent publication of SABR’s latest title, “Our Game, Too: Influential Figures and Milestones in Canadian Baseball”. Their booth display was next to mine. And I happen to be the book’s cover designer.

Other vendors included the museum’s own gift store with a range of hats, bats, balls and shirts and Toronto’s tasty Left Field Brewery!

Exciting day for baseball fans. Can’t wait to find who the next class of Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductees will include! Thanks to the museum’s executive director for including my artwork in the event. It was out of the park!
