Rory McIlroy commissioned this pencil drawing after last year's Masters Tournament.
The artist (@KeeganHall) provided context on Reddit:
• Spent 6+ months working on it
• Estimates 600-800+ total hours
• Worked on it 6-7 days each week
• Uses a Pentel Graphgear mechanical pencil
Hall says this piece was incredibly challenging because so much detail went into such a small area. For context, the original is smaller than 30x22, so each face in the crowd is essentially a quarter of the size of a fingernail.
This is the second piece he has done for Rory.
Once something is on the internet, it lives forever.
Not only does it look bad that MLB Network pulled the video of Derosa clearly not knowing the tiebreaker rules, pulling down a video that fans can go watch in a million other places gives the story a whole other angle. And now fans are talking about it even more.
Not really sure what MLB Network thought they would accomplish by pulling down that video other than torpedoing any journalistic integrity they may have had left. Now, they’re purely a PR outlet for the league. They’ve fully erased any ambiguity in that regard.
