I am smiling because my father, Charles Keiger, painted this sign. He worked for Sam Caldwell after completing five years at the Cincinnati Art Academy in 1952. I don’t know how old this sign is now, but as far as I know it’s his last remaining wall in Cincinnati. He used to do all the signs at Crosley Field. Find a historical photo from the 1961 Reds-Yankees World Series, and those signs on the Crosley scoreboard and outfield wall are his.

Dale, what an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing. This is one of my favorite ghost signs downtown.
