Original charcoal and pastel painting by Dave Hobrecht.
Some of baseball's greatest players gave up the prime years of their careers to serve their country. This painting brings together Hall of Famers who left the game for military service in World War I, World War II and the Korean War, standing side by side with their right hands raised as they are sworn in by Dwight D. Eisenhower.
It is a tribute to the legends who put their careers on hold to serve, and a reminder that some of the most important moments of their lives happened far from the ballpark.
