A Duke Snider Painted Ball at Goldin Auctions

Check out this fantastic Duke Snider painted Baseball by modern-day pop artist Charles Fazzino. It is currently available on auction at Goldin Auctions (Auction Link).

It features a Snider autograph to go along with drawings highlighting his career. On one panel you see Duke stretching for a batted ball in the Ebbets Field outfield. Another panel celebrates his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1980.

The more unique aspect of Fazzino's painted ball is how he incorporates a 3-D element into the Baseball. As you can see, the Brooklyn Dodgers logo "pops" out of the ball.

Below are more pics showing the other panels. Currently, the ball has an opening price of $800 with no takers, so far.

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1938 Reds lefty Johnny Vander Meer made history when he threw his second consecutive no-hitter -- beating the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, 6-0. BTW, this was the very first night game played in New York City. In 1996 the Dodgers turn their first triple play in 47 years. In Atlanta with runners going from 1st and 2nd base in the 1st inning, Braves infielder Chipper Jones hit a popup to short-left that was snagged by Juan Castro. He dutifully threw to second baseman Delino Deshields for the second out, who then relayed the ball to first baseman Eric Karros to get the third out (6-4-3 Triple Play).
