Red vs Red: Cincinnati Reds Rivalry Caricature Art #2266364 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn caricature by C. Wald (2013) depicts two anthropomorphic baseballs as rival players: one representing the historic Boston Red Stockings/Reds (with mustache, striped cap, and spiked bat), the other the modern Cincinnati Reds (in pinstriped jersey, ‘C’ cap, and a lit bomb baseball). The piece uses bold linework, expressive faces, and symbolic props to evoke baseball’s storied feuds and fan identity. Signature in lower right confirms original artwork status.

Used in sports blogs, MLB fan sites, or museum exhibits on baseball art and rivalry culture; targets fans seeking nostalgic, humorous takes on team history and regional pride.
