Yesterday on our drive down to U.S. Cellular Field for the (now 2nd place) White Sox, my sister & I stopped on Michigan Avenue to See Haley's Golfball and I took this short video of it. It's just south of Ohio St. Babbs, on the east side of the road.
In an email from Harry he mentioned that He & Patti also went there on the 14th to see it:
Friday we went to see the Listen Up golf ball Downtown (near Michigan & Ohio), and I went to see the Wheeling game and told Patti & Haley to try and catch the 2nd half after some errands they had to take care of before Haley's departure. It was something to see the kids go wild in the stands when she came in. Pretty overwhelming, in a good way! Enjoy tonight's game...Go Cats!

Thanks for the video/update.
Artist's bio from a site for pinstripe artists called Pinhead Lounge:
Quote:Ron Jelinek
I started out as a sign painter's apprentice in 1960. Open my own shop in the Berwyn, IL in the late 60's. I did a lot of truck and race car lettering, I was involved in drag racing, and many of my customers asked me to do pinstriping with the lettering, so to do a better job of serving my customer and it looked like fun, I started pinstriping and like they say the rest is history. Now I'm semi retired and having a ball doing all the fun stuff and still building hot rods. It is so KOOOL now that letter and pinheads can get together at panel jams, talk, share ideas and just have a good time. When I started it was like pulling teeth to get any info out of anyone. I still love the smell of 1-shot in the morning, Rj the Wizard
Some examples of his pinstriping work: http://www.pinheadlounge.com/brushwiz
They're auctioning off some of the other art balls (minimum bid $10K):

I was wondering where it was on Michigan Ave.... I love Haley's signature too, with all its "curly cues".
And, thanks for sharing the email from Harry Reinhart. It would have been so cool to see the crowd's reaction to Haley at the Wheeling HS football game. Comin home a celebrity!!!!!
