How This Novel Inspired This One-of-a-Kind NFT
- I Never Played Catch With My Father-NFTNFT media never-before-shared on social media or sold.In honor of my late father – the best father, ever.This one-of-a-kind work, featuring officially copyright material, is inspired by the famous novel, of the same name, by Pulitzer-nominated author, and former Oprah guest author Gene Cartwright.On January 29, 1996 at 4:45 pm,in the front yard of my childhood home in Texas, I played catch with my father for the first and last time.While he was not a sports-minded father, he was unequaled, in all other respects .
Before his passing I told him: “If I had been given a chance to choose a father, I would have chosen you.” That brought tears to his eyes for only the second time I ever saw.On December 26 1996,my dad lost his valiant battle fight against lung cancer. This “Playing Catch” Collection – the beginning of many works to come – symbolizes a magical day of playing catch that, for me, will never end.And so, that day in 1996 (which was videotaped) altered my real-life experience with my father, and made the book’s title no longer apply to me.National Book TourThe novel led to a 1997 Oprah Show invitation, a multi-year national book tour, national mediacoverage, and focused attention on the vital importance of parent-child relationships.What the work depictsThis work depicts a young boy of a past era, sitting alone at sunset engrossed in a story yet to be written, visualizing a future where he would forever share his childhood passion with a father now gone.A Few Famous Baseball & Other Figures Who Own(ed) Signed Copies of the novel:Willie MaysHank AaronGene AutryBack ObamaOprah WinfreyCicely TysonKevin CostnerGeorge W.
