1956 – The Saturday Evening Post series / original oil on canvas.
When Sherman “Scotty” Safford walked into the Pittsfield High School cafeteria in 1956, he spotted a mysterious man sitting at a nearby table. The mystery man was Norman Rockwell, and he came to Pitts eld High in search of a model. “I was a tall, gangly string bean of a kid,” says Scotty. “At 6-foot-4, I towered over everybody, and obviously, this caught his eye.” Rockwell met Scotty, shared his idea for an upcoming Evening Post cover, and invited the athlete to pose as the talented “hayseed” who shows up on his first day in the major leagues with a bat, glove, and suitcase in hand convinced he’s there to save the team. “As a 17-year-old kid, I couldn’t have been more thrilled, said Scotty. By the time the issue hit newsstands in March 1957, Scotty was in the Army and stationed at Fort Dix. His mother called with the news, telling him to run to the The Saturday Evening Post exchange and buy as many copies as he could carry.
