A Vintage Editorial Cartoon of Pete Reiser by Karl Hubenthal

Check out this fantastic original sports editorial cartoon created by the legendary Karl Hubenthal that I found on eBay. It features former Brooklyn Dodger Pete Reiser, and celebrates his ascendancy as an coach for the LA Dodgers. It likely dates from the early part of 1960. (Click on the pic above to embiggen)

As you know, Reiser was one of the more popular and respected ballplayers in the game. He played with everything he had, and often sacrificed his own body in the process. Some might say he was reckless, but I think he was raised to never give up.
