Additional Details: In The Rocket's Red Glare, Dwight Baird pays tribute to the Boston Red Sox by subtly incorporating legendary jersey numbers into his artwork. The numbers and their likely references are: #9 - Ted Williams: "The Splendid Splinter," one of the greatest hitters in MLB history and a Red Sox icon. #8 - Carl Yastrzemski: "Yaz," a Hall of Famer known for his Triple Crown season and leadership in the 1967 "Impossible Dream" season. #21 - Roger Clemens: "The Rocket," a dominant pitcher and multiple Cy Young Award winner during his time with the Red Sox. #42 - Jackie Robinson: While retired league-wide in honor of Robinson's barrier-breaking legacy, #42 remains a symbol of equality and inspiration. Baird’s artwork celebrates the Red Sox’s storied history and its players’ enduring impact on the game, blending artistry with the team’s legacy.
