1986 World Series Game 6 Painting by Steve Sax w/Dual-Signed Mookie/Buckner Ball (Ex-Charlie Sheen Collection)
Unusual artwork created by 14-year MLB veteran Steve Sax offers a unique take on one of baseball's most memorable moments. Sax created art in his own fashion, making his paintings 3-dimensional, and this one is no exception. Acrylic and oil painting on wood measures 24x12" and offers a different view of the final play in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox. Shown from the perspective between the feet of Buckner from behind, Wilson is depicted storming toward first base, while an actual Official MLB baseball (stamp is obscured) bulges from the image, behind Buckner. Of course, that resulted in the Mets scoring an improbable comeback before going on to win the Series in 7 games. Ball is nicely signed by both Buckner (ss) and Wilson (panel below) in 9/10 black ballpoint pen. The artwork dates to the early 1990s and was originally purchased in auction by actor Charlie Sheen, who also owned the actual baseball from the infamous play. Wonderful display, unless you're a Red Sox fan. In EX-MT condition.
