October 17, 2004 Final Score: Astros 6 – Cardinals 5
A Panoramic View in Houston, Texas – The Rob Arra Collection

Under the roof at Minute Maid Park, the air is thick with tension. With the score tied at five in the top of the 7th, and Albert Pujols at second with a leadoff double, the St. Louis Cardinals are perilously close to moving ahead in the game and taking a 3-1 lead in the NLCS. With Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, and Edgar Renteria due up, things are looking desperate for the hometown stars. As reliever Dan Wheeler winds up and delivers the 1-0 pitch to Rolen…SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!

With this spectacular panoramic poster, you are transported back to that glorious Sunday afternoon at the ballpark, when Wheeler and the Astros held off the charging Cards, and evened up the legendary 2004 NLCS at two games apiece. Remember, it was just two innings later that Carlos Beltran took Julian Tavarez deep, in one of the greatest moments in a great comeback season for the remarkable ‘Stros. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra’s Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and the Astros home field has never looked so good! From the wacky left field features, to Tal’s Hill in center, to the massive scoreboard and ads in right, to the 42,000 fans on the edges of their seats, to the action on the field as the pitch heads home (you can see the ball in motion), this is a spectacular look at a historic day in Houston baseball history. Worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of any true Astros fan!
