Robert Siegel recounts his brief stint as a NY baseball artist:
“As every mediocre artist knows, it’s way easier to paint people with moustaches. No matter how shitty a job you do, it’ll still vaguely resemble the guy. Especially if it’s a distinctive moustache. Just try drawing a picture of Adolf Hitler that doesn’t look like Adolf Hitler. It’s very hard. Same thing with Rollie Fingers. Slap a Brewers cap and a handlebar moustache on there, no way anybody’s going to think it’s Moose Haas.”
