Handcrafted Recycled Metal Rustic Sports Sculpture Mexico, "Rustic Baseball Players"
The catcher crouches with outstretched glove as the batter prepares to swing. The excitement of baseball inspires Armando Ramírez. He fashions the figures from discarded pieces of wire and sparkplugs. Metal bits left from a die cutter become the glove, heads, feet and home plate.
Ramírez does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"Unique Artwork"
I purchased this as a birthday gift for a friend who is a baseball player and PE teacher. He really enjoyed the gift. The first words he said when he opened the gift were Thats so cool! Its baseball!. He enjoyed the fact that it was a handmade item and not something that was just mass produced by a machine. Thank you for the wonderful artwork!

"great gift"
This is a great gift for someone who works a lot with a computer. It is well made and fun. My one complaint is that it is described as a male executive. It should be unisex.
