Compo Beach Fence Depicts 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Series Win

Westport artist Howard Munce works on a fence-based painting depicting the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series win over the New York Yankees at Ebbets Field. Others contributing to the painting at the Compo Beach area home of Craig Davidson were Aime Crabtree of Norwalk and Greg McCullough of Fairfield as well as Davidson. The project has taken four years and replaces a similar painting on a fence on Davidson’s property. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo

Very nice. Now how do I get my wife to let me paint our fence as the Green Monster circa 1978 with Bucky Dent’s homerun sailing over??

How about one where the ball is going thru Bill Buckner’s legs. As a Met fan that is priceless.

What would be better is a painting of the final out of game 7 at the stadium after blowing a 3-0 lead in the 2004 pennant. Now that is one for the ages

I actually didn’t see that one. The TV had been turned off long before that out. One can only take so much pain. I really don’t know how Red Sox fans could stand it for 86 years….or how they will cope until 2090.
How about we include pictures of Bill Buckner, Babe Ruth, Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone. Bucky, get the paint.

I guess it builds character and ruins a lot of TV remotes.
And I have seen enough of those ghouls thank you.
