A wide landscape backglass art panel. The left two-thirds is a night-time aerial view of a baseball stadium: green striped outfield grass, red-brown infield dirt, a large white diamond, empty blue-lit grandstands curving round the top left, a floodlight tower with a red starburst glare, and a distant outfield scoreboard showing a tiny player portrait with coloured stat boxes. Dominating the lower left and centre is a huge two-line block logo, BIG above HURT, in tall condensed capitals filled with a red-to-yellow vertical gradient and outlined in white and black, with a small TM at its upper right corner. A solid red silhouette of a batter mid-swing, number 35 on his back, is cut out of the lettering and carries a black bat. Above the logo sits small white text reading FRANK THOMAS. The right half is a large photographic cut-out of a smiling Black male baseball player in a white pinstriped uniform with dark trim, dark batting helmet, and white-and-black cleats, running with his right arm outstretched to the right; purple lightning bolts crack behind him and a dark bat angles down to the lower right. Bottom centre carries the white Reebok wordmark over a red vector delta. The background is black with red dirt texture along the bottom edge.
