When I am looking for things

Willie Mays, Fabulous c. 1970 Large Child's Drawing on Cardboard cobalt blue *Peter RoeThis is one of three 1970 marker drawings done by a child depicting specific athletes, all of which I think are just fabulous. Here we have Willie Mays wearing his #24 jersey (looking a bit like Joseph's coat of many colors, with two different colors for the pant legs peeking out below, too!) and what I take for a ball in black headed (with tail it's moving so fast!) toward his orange bat! Great face, too, but my favorite may be the catcher in green
