Description Mickey Mantle was a star from the start, finishing his 18-year career with 536 home runs and a .298 batting average. The switch-hitting Commerce Comet won three MVP Awards (1956, '57, '62) and a Triple Crown (1956). He contributed to 12 pennants and seven World Series titles in his first 14 seasons while establishing numerous World Series records, including most home runs (18). I decided to start my 'Legends' series with the one and only Mickey Mantle, he is a integral part of baseball history and his play and stats prove just how much he did for the game
Scott Hubbert Member Since July 2011 Artist Statement I have been creating art my entire life starting with simple sketches to Oil on canvas to commissioned portraits. Although I enjoy painting, I find I'm in better control with a pencil or graphite stick. I am now working on a new series featuring different sports legends from the past. I started with the one and only Mickey Mantle, I've always loved the history of baseball and this is easily my favorite work I've done so far. The art bug is back in my system after a very long break. The second piece to this series will be one of my favorites Bobby Orr. I've just starting outlining so stay tuned....much more to come.
