The Dugout
The painting became one of Rockwell's most iconic baseball-themed works and came to symbolize the Cubs' "lovable loser" image, throughout.From left to right: Amongst the subjects in the crowd are the daughter of a coach of the Boston Braves and the wife of pitcher Bob Rush.[2] A number of Cubs players and manager Charlie Grimm agreed to pose in the dugout to be photographed.As spectators filled the stands, Rockwell handpicked a number of them and instructed them to mimic expressions of delight or scorn.Additionally, a batboy for the Braves had to be convinced to pose in a Cubs jersey in front of the dugout.
