Some Baseball Art To Enjoy With The World Series

There’s some great baseball-related abstract art available on eBay, but it’s gonna cost you. Each of these original oil-on-canvas paintings (16-by-20 inches) by the artist Tommervik have a Buy It Now price of $1 million. (Not to mention another $9.99 for standard shipping.) According to his website, the artist “has developed a personal vein of Pop Cubism to produce his very own reading of American iconography. All-American icons are thus deconstructed and rebuilt to emphasize a given attribute.”

If a cool million isn’t in your art budget this month, you can make him a below-asking-price offer and see if he takes the bait. All auctions end over the next month, so make your bid now and have it hanged and framed in time for the first pitch of the 2012 MLB season.

Rick Paulas is just hoping for a good, clean, honest contest where the players finish healthy and walk away with a newfound respect for one another.
