142. (SOLD OUT) "Big Lee" 7" x 10.5" Art Print

On the mound for Pop Fly Pop Shop is a collaboration with a massive Hall of Famer. "Big Lee" Smith. I'm excited to share that in addition to the regular editions, we're offering copies signed by Lee Smith and a signed and inscribed option with '19 HOF.

Lee Smith is a name etched in the annals of baseball history. This towering figure on the pitcher's mound stood as a beacon of dominance throughout his illustrious career. At 6 feet 6 inches tall, Smith cast an imposing shadow over batters, and his performance on the field was nothing short of legendary.

Smith's journey in Major League Baseball was marked by his prowess as a relief pitcher. With 478 career saves to his name, he held the record for the most saves in MLB history at the time of his retirement. It was a testament to his exceptional ability to seal the deal in high-pressure situations, earning him the nickname "Big Lee."

His career trajectory was studded with accolades, including seven All-Star selections and three Rolaids Relief Man Awards. He consistently demonstrated the uncanny knack of shutting down opponents, instilling a sense of confidence in his teammates and fans alike.

Smith's impact extended far beyond the statistics. He was a leader both on and off the field, a role model for aspiring pitchers, and a mentor to many. His dedication to the game and his craft was unwavering, and his contributions to the sport are indelible.

Today, as I reflect on the legacy of Lee Smith, I am reminded of the towering presence he brought to the game. He was more than a pitcher; he was a force of nature, a guardian of victory, and an inspiration to all who witnessed his greatness. Lee Smith is a true legend in the realm of baseball, and no one knows it better than Chicago.
