Yankee Stadium Word Art

It was only a matter of time...I've been honing the sports word art craft for years by drawing iconic athletes, and I finally felt ready to recreate a place that has bred countless icons, the home to arguably the greatest franchise in the history of sports: Yankee Stadium. I sketched an image of the stadium post-1946 (when lights were installed) and filled it in by handwriting the names of every single Yankee to play in the old Yankee Stadium. I'm still blown away by some of the superteams I got to write down – Ruth/Gehrig in the 20 & 30s, Mantle/Maris/Berra in the 50s & 60s, and the Core Four of Jeter/Posada/Rivera/Pettitte in the 90s & 2000s. Filling in the shading on the signature façade really brought this piece to life, and just to add a little more New York nostalgia into it – I made sure there were a few fire escapes on the background buildings. Yankee fans around the world, I present to you my latest word art: The House the Ruth Built!  

***I actually went in and added the 2009 Yankees so the piece could include all 27 World Series Championship teams - bringing the total to 1465 names!

    My husband left me for another woman a few months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain and agony because my husband was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend and also a colleague from work told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritual counselor called Doctor Muna, He can bring back lover within some few days. Ridiculously, I laughed it out and said I am not interested. But for friendship’s sake, she consulted this God sent man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise, Immediately after 12 hours, my husband called me for the very first time for over 7 months saying “I miss you babe and I’m so sorry for everything I made you went through” I couldn’t say a word but cried over the phone and hanged up. We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you DOCTOR MUNA for bringing back my love and also to my SELFLESS FRIEND. Laura, who interceded on my behalf. For anyone who might need help of this wonderful spiritual counselor, here is the email address: marvelspelltemple@gmail.com, Also add him on WhatsApp: +2347035449257
