Paintings, drawings, collages, prints of every kind, sculpture in bronze, wood, wire, tin, string, paper and clay; there was virtually no medium the Spaniard did not use, and all are profusely represented...

...eighth with a solid single to left. Bobby Kelley and Steve Tilles then advanced him to third with a perfect sacrifice and a sliced single to left respectively. Mike Stenhouse brought Pearce home with a fly to short center which Jumbo Dan O'Brien caught and made a strong peg toward the plate with.
