"Jessie's Homerun"

15 x 16 inches

The Plymouth-Canton Pride makes history - July 2011

This Best Friends Portrait features my niece Jessie who at 11 years old, might be the greatest ball player I have ever known. I'm not sure how many homeruns she has hit, this season alone, but guaranteed it's a very big number. It's easy to see that Jessie was born to play the game.

All of us, especially her mom and her dad (my brother Jim) are understandably proud of her skill and hard work ... And that Uncle Jim has been known to hit a pretty mean ball himself.
