Great carving, Jim. I love it! I can see why they moved to Ump to behind the catcher.

Jim,
Most excellent...you have captured that "Watch this ...I'm fixin to invent the bean ball" look on both faces. Norman Rockwell would be proud of you. Good luck at the show, I believe you have a real winner there. Thank you for letting us enjoy it.

Jim
