"After all the pronouncements of glory and valor afforded our icons of sport, it's a refreshing departure to behold a humbler view of our professional pastimes. The master of this alternative art is decidedly, Fred Kail. In his sculptures we?re humbled by a reminder that stardom is really a bit transparent and that indeed, unsuspecting mortals, much like ourselves, wear the badge of fame."
