PANEL:  1936--In this "Subway Series," as the headline called it...

   My work.  It was posted here on ADS-L.
   I had given it both to the New York Transit Museum and to the National Baseball Hall of Fame (credited in the acknowledgments).  I wasn't credited in the acknowledgments.  I wasn't even told about it.  I found it by accident as I walked by.
   This is the second time in two years that a NYC institution has used my work in a gallery exhibit without payment or acknowledgment, and without even inviting me to see it.
   In March 2000, the Parks Department's Arsenal Gallery had a display of my Audrey Munson-inspired work, completely stolen for the book AMERICAN VENUS.  I recently (while on vacation in Iceland) answered a Parks Department query about the origin of "New Yorker."
   When I came back from vacation last week, my sister had an article she thought I'd be interested in.  It was on the origin of baseball in New York City.  I told her that I knew about it.
   "How come that made the front page of the Sunday New York Times, and when you do something, they don't write about it at all?" she asked.
