Note Ball in Motion

Bring your wall alive with a historic moment in New York Mets history! After all the amazing pre-game festivities finally came to a close, it was time to PLAY BALL! at the spectacular replacement for Shea Stadium, Citi Field. On a cool spring afternoon, with over 41,000 lucky fans standing in anticipation, and camera shutters clicking at a deafening rate, Mike Pelfrey unloads the first-ever regular-season pitch at the billion-dollar baseball palace. As the ball approaches San Diego Padres leadoff man Jody Gerut…SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From legendary panoramic sports photographer Rob Arra’s Everlasting Images collection, this print brings the moment alive to true perfection! From the star players on the field like Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Carlos Beltran, to the fans in the stands, to the perfectly-groomed grass, to the stunning details of the stadium, it’s all here, in sharp focus and breathtaking color for your wall. A true work of photograpic sports art for home or office, and a valuable collector’s item for years to come, this is a must for the wall of any true Mets fan. Sensational!
