1960 Detroit Tigers v Pittsburgh Pirates in First Place Sporting News Original Art by Willard Mullin
<p>Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of first-place spirits. Published in The Sporting News, this marvelous original image from the hand of famed cartoonist Willard Mullin depicts a drunk, raucous pirates riding a ferocious-looking Tiger as both clubs burst out the gate that spring with great starts (PIT 8-3, DET 5-0). The Bucs would sustain their success, concluding the year by edging the Yankees for the World Series crown on Bill Mazeroski's dramatic Game 7 home run. On the other hand, reality would set in for the Tigers, who would go on to finish a mediocre sixth in the American League standings. The artwork measures roughly roughly 22" x 15".</p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">These select pieces were saved by one of the original owners of The Sporting News Original Art Archives.
