Commissioned by the Cincinnati Art Museum, Warhol created an 4 image, acrylic on canvas screen print that was based off a photo by Cincinnati photographer, Gordon Baer. True to Pop Art style, the screen print mimics the style of a classic baseball card. Warhol produced 50 impressions of color screen prints of one of the four images. He used colors that exemplified who Pete was a colorful character. Warhol died two years after this commission and Pete Rose was banned from baseball for placing illegal bets.
