The Last Spitballer

Over the past 10 years I have painted every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and this is one of my favorites. Spitballs were outlawed in 1920 but 17 pitchers were grandfathered in to the new rule and they were allowed to continue throwing the nasty pitch. Burleigh Grimes was the final one of these players to retire and he threw the last legal spitball in 1934. He won 270 games in his career. A true legend of the game!
