This offset lithograph poster serves as a commemorative piece for the 1995 event "A Salute to Babe Ruth" featuring 500 Home Run Hitters and Hall of Fame legends, held in Baltimore, Maryland.
The artwork depicts a dynamic baseball player in action, rendered in the distinctive, fluid, and vibrant style of American artist Leroy Neiman. The poster was sponsored by Chemical Bank and The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Baseball Center Museum. Below the central illustration, the text includes the event title, a list of baseball legends belonging to the "500 Home Run Club," and the sponsors' logos. The piece features a prominent, bold signature by Leroy Neiman in an ochre-toned ink.
Framed under glass, the poster has a visible image area of approximately 19.9 by 11.6 inches, while the overall framed dimensions measure 25.25 by 17 by 1 inches. The poster shows signs of age, including three evenly spaced, mild-to-moderate folds and potential ink fading on the signature.
