Busch Stadium "Home Run" (1996) Panorama - Everlasting Images
Item #: EI260
September 2, 1996
Ozzie Smith at bat for the last home run of his career with the Cardinals
A panoramic view in St. Louis - Photographer Rob Arra
Step into the old Busch Memorial Stadium, in the last years of a more innocent era! This spectacular print features a panoramic view inside St. Louis' old baseball palace, when the Cardinals' king was still a skinny, light-hitting shortstop Wizard. In what would prove to be both a historic moment, and a harbinger of things to come, the great Ozzie Smith stands at the plate against a future Cardinals star and tragic figure, Darryl Kyle - SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!
With this poster, you are transported back to that late summer afternoon, when Ozzie went deep for the 28th and final time of his career. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are there in the Press Box, watching the game unfold. From the "Crown of Arches" above, to the scoreboards, the action on the field and the fans in the stands, it's all here, the classic old stadium, looking great for your wall. This is the perfect item for Cardinals fans, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent space at home or office. A beauty for your wall, and a valuable collector's item for years to come! Note: this poster is now out-of-print; limited quantity remains in our warehouse.
