As a teenage phenom, Barney was contracted to the Dodgers at the age of 18, in 1943. He pitched 45 innings that year. He was one of the hardest throwers in the league. In 1948, he had his greatest season; he won 15 games and finished second in the National League with 138 strikeouts. The highlight was hurling a no-hitter against the New York Giants on September 9. He had to sit through a one-hour rain delay and showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish the game. Barney appeared in 3 games in the 1947 World Series. In 1950, he walked 48 batters in just 33 innings and never played in the majors again. He ended his career with a 35-31 record and a 4.31 earned run average. After his retirement as a player, Barney worked as a broadcaster, calling games for Mutual radio., Goodwood PRess, 1994, Toronto: The Musson Book Company, 1969. Hardcover. Good/Good. 252 p. 24 cm.

Very good. - A 10-3/4 inch by 6-1/2 inch wide print in black on cream-colored paper depicting the Madonna standing in the bombed-out ruins of a church, holding the baby Jesus in the folds of her robe. "Peace on Earth is printed above the image and "Christmas Greetings from Paul Rabut" below it. At the foot of the sheet the artist has added in ink: "And May 1946 Be a Truly Happy New Year for All!

The top edge of the print is slightly darkened from offsetting & soiled and there are tiny remnants of paper & 2 glue stains to the verso where the drawing was apparently once mounted to a card. Very good. American artist and illustrator Paul Rabut studied at the College of the City of New York, the Art School of the National Academy of Design, the Grand Central Art School and the Art Students League. He was widely exhibited and won awards for both editorial and advertising illustrations. Characteristically he researched the subject matter of his assignments so thoroughly that he became an authority on United States history, logging, Northwest Indian culture and artifacts and other primitive art--Oceanic, pre-Colombian, and especially African wood carvings and masks. He was a consultant for collectors and galleries on the subject of primitive art and had one of the finest private collections in the country., (1945)., Leicester University Press, 1986-01-01.
