Great baseball art adorns this wall plaque made by L.L. Rittgers in 1947 depicting three baseball players comically arguing with the umpire. One player has a broken bat and is walking away dejectedly presumably after being ejected from the game. His teammate stands by him in support with tears in his eyes. An opposing player has a big bump on his head and is supporting the umpire in more ways than one. The plaque measures approximately 11 x 9". The bottom reads, "1947 L.L. Rittgers" and the original Suttle and Rittgers sticker is on the back. The original paint is still there (professionally touched up in some spots). A few minor repairs and touch ups have been made, otherwise, NRMT.
