Additional Details

Charles Curtis Flood (1938-1997) was a Major League Baseball player who spent most of his career as a center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was also an accomplished artist and caricaturist, as demonstrated here with this drawing of the outrageously flamboyant boxing promoter, Don King. King was behind the "Thrilla in Manila" and many other major bouts, as well as a few major outs--in court with some of his boxers.
