Holland and Otterstad

The other day I posted about the currently running ThinkCure! auction and highlighted a couple of great paintings available. In the comments section of that post, Danny Stern provided some additional background on the two paintings by Stephen Holland and Opie Otterstad that I thought would be worth passing along in a new post.

Below is Stephen Holland's painting of Jackie Robinson's Slide. Read more about the artist here, and then go here for more about this specific painting.
Then, check out this great video featuring the above painting.

Then, check out the outline below and see if you can name all of the players. The answers are available in the above link.
