You can find baseball cards in the strangest places. While searching Flickr, I found this Josh Hamilton sketch card. I think this is posted by the artist, but I am not sure. Possibly, this is a 2009 Topps Series 2 sketch card, or maybe it is one of the ones that the artist kept for himself.
Regardless – it is a beautiful sketch. Probably my favourite Hamilton sketch card (and there have been a lot). The Home Run Derby is obviously one of the most memorable events in Hamilton’s career, and this drawing of him watching one of his many, many blasts that night is an amazing rendition.
Check out the guy’s photostream, as he has a bunch of other sketch cards, some of which will probably catch the eye of some bloggers out there: I saw a Kevin Kouzmanoff, some Jeters, some Lincecums, among many others
Yeah, that is a great looking sketch of Hamilton. Big day for him too! He’s really getting back on track.
Yeah, when he is fully healthy and in the lineup, he is mashing again. He just needs to shake off all the rust.
Thats an amazing card. The Mike Pelfrey sketches are ugly face shots.
