Maurice Vaughn aka 'Mo' and 'The Hit Dog' is only three years younger than I am. Mo played in the Major Leagues from 1991-2003 for three MLB Teams. Of course I remember him as Boston's First Baseman where he was awarded the AL MVP Award in '93. Mo had a colorful personality, did a lot of charity work and was definitely a leader in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, things were not always so smooth with the team's GM. Mo eventually moved on to play with the Anaheim Angels in 1999.
I remember getting the call from my local newspaper to do a caricature of Mo Vaughn number 42 of the Boston Red Sox. It was May of 1994, when many people still got their news from their daily paper. As always it was a pleasure having my work published on the sports page of the local paper that some of my friends and family would peruse. I am lucky to live where I do. The New England Sports Teams are solid!
