CHICK HAFEY ST. LOUIS CARDINAL
CHICK HAFEY ST. LOUIS CARDINAL is an 8x6 signed, limited edition print on heavy paper. CHARLES JAMES “CHICK” HAFEY was born in Berkeley California on February 12, 1903 and signed as a pitcher by the St. Louis Cardinals straight out of Berkeley High. My work started with a b&w picture of Hafey, the man with “the rifle arm” and one of two Hall of Famers who wore glasses. Of no importance: the Cardinals were first The Cleveland Spiders, then the St. Louis Perfectos, and finally the Cardinals. Why? Because a fan in the stands was heard by a St. Louis Republican columnist to say the new uniforms were “a lovely shade of cardinal.” #baseball #baseballprint #stlouiscardinals #charleshafey #cardinal #st.louis #baseballhalloffamer #ketchum #baseball #baseballprint #stlouiscardinals #charleshafey #cardinal #st.louis #baseballhalloffamer #ketchum
