Eddie Arcaro and Norman Rockwell
This was the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on June 28, 1958. It's titled "Jockey Weighing In" by Norman Rockwell and of course, that's Eddie Arcaro with a track official that Rockwell conjured from his wonderfully creative mind. I remember how my father laughed about it and how that magazine laid around our living room for several weeks. I don't think my mother understood the humor and eventually dispatched it to the land of the missing, along with my baseball cards. Enjoy.
