Frame size: 50 1/2 in. x 60 1/2 inProvenance: With newspaper clipping from The Christian Science Monitor, 1989, reading "The artist, a lifelong baseball fan, captures the ballplayers' poised action as the pitcher winds up for the throw. The painting's perspective places the viewer behind first base, directly involved with the suspended excitement of the game. Mason will exhibit his work at the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y. from July 1 to Aug. 31."
