16-5/8x18.75" artboard w/original India ink w/litho crayon shading art and penciled "Due West" title w/art of Yankees player (seen four times) running w/suitcase and map to different game locations, each marked w/signs - Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit. Another man asks player if he's home to which player replies "Naw! And Don't Let Anyone Kid You Those Great Open Spaces Of The West Aren't Spread All Over The Map!" Further text reads "So, 'East Is East And West Is West', Huh? What A Liar They Made Out Of Kipling! - All Because St. Louis Moved To Baltimore." This dates to the 1954 season as the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore after the 1953 season. Art served as commentary on how difficult a roadtrip to Cleveland/Detroit/St. Louis had become due to the Browns moving to Baltimore. Bottom corners have some editorial notes/marks. Artboard has some aging to margins and scattered dust soiling and top margin has inked brushstrokes as Mullin created this art. Fine overall, but image area remains VF/Exc. Wonderfully expressive and action-packed Yankee art. Mullin (1902-1978) created the Brooklyn Dodgers mascot the Brooklyn Bum and worked for the "New York World-Telegram" newspaper and "The Sporting News." He won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award in 1954 and also won their Sports Cartoon Award every year 1957-1962 and again in 1964-1965. Nice example by the "20th Century Dean Of Sports Cartoonists" and Brooklyn Bum creator Willard Mullin.
