Gladden’s Grand Slam, art by Steven Paul Carlson

Minneapolis, Minnesota, artist Steven Paul Carlson.

For most of my professional art career, starting in the early 1970’s and still going today, I have been an illustrator. This was one of my favorite commissions.

The Minnesota Twins’ 1st World Series Championship, 1987. Game 1, Saturday, October 17th, Dan Gladden hits a grand slam home run to cap off a seven-run fourth inning. –

Interesting note: The Twins came into the 1987 season number 13 out of the 14 American League teams.

This piece of art was done for the Twins and WCCO Radio for the 1988 baseball pocket schedule. It was truly one of those great art commissions for me.
