From the legendary "Sosnak," the master of painted baseballs, this is a full-color artwork ball illustrating the baseball and Hollywood careers of Chuck Connors. Sosnak's attention to detail and design is unparalleled, with every millimeter of space being used to the fullest degree possible. Depictions of Connors in Rifleman attire and a Dodgers uniform, respectively, decorate two of the ball's panels, and a third is covered by a chronicle of his major and minor league travels. All of the ball's unique details are well-preserved and the piece is lightly and uniformly shellacked for an especially appealing, glossy display. Beautiful condition, and an outstanding folk art piece!
