Item # OSL-21 Woody Hayes Reunion Print
In 1968, Ohio State, led by Woody Hayes and
eleven future All-Americans, won college football's National Championship. They
completed their regular season an undefeated 10-0 after beating Michigan 50-14 to clinch
the Big Ten title. On New Year's Day in the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes beat USC 27-16
led by Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson.
In the fall of 1993, the entire 1968 team
was recognized at a reunion banquet. Artists for Athletes produced 200 of these
prints as a tribute to Woody Hayes and that team. At this fund raising banquet, 100
of these prints were presented to those who reserved a table for $1,000.00. Another
50 of the prints were distributed to corporate sponsors. Not very many of these
prints ever reached the general public or even the players. In hind sight, we should
have produced an additional one hundred prints, so that each player on the 1968 team could
have received one. As a result, this print became one of the most sought after
prints in Ohio State football history.
This 18 x 24 inch limited edition unmatted
print is one of only 200 signed and numbered by the artist and not autographed.
This print will be the focal point of your memorabilia collection. It will attract
plenty of attention in your home or office. This is also a great gift idea for any
Ohio State fan, loved one or a unique auction item for a charity fundraising event.
