Fingerprint: Huge yellow star-speckled score chart capped enormous diagonal red italic SLUG FEST script logo, baseball white circle labelled RUNS, below chart baseball crowd scene fills bottom third rows hat-wearing spectators backs arms thrown up cheering, crossed brown bats decorative motif right edge beside RUNS ball
The dominant feature is the bright yellow star-speckled score chart capped by a huge diagonal red italic 'SLUG FEST' script logo, with a baseball in a white circle labelled 'RUNS'. Below the chart a baseball crowd scene fills the bottom third: rows of hat-wearing spectators seen from the back, arms thrown up in cheering, looking into a floodlit stadium where a tiny batter swings. A pair of crossed brown bats forms a decorative motif on the right edge beside the RUNS ball. The whole panel sits in a chunky varnished wooden frame.

Illuminated translight-style backglass set in a thick light-wood frame with mitred corners. The upper two-thirds is a score chart on a yellow background scattered with small red, blue and black five-pointed stars. A large italic script logo reading 'SLUG FEST' in red letters with a yellow outline runs diagonally across the top, with a smaller cursive script company word above it at top left. Below, curved blue and green banners carry the score values 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, and a white baseball inside a pale circle at upper right carries the red word 'RUNS'. A red arrow-tipped banner reads 'BATTING AVERAGE', under which a green-framed two-row table shows 100 200 300 400 and 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 over 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. The lower third is a painted crowd scene: a stadium grandstand and pitcher's mound at dusk, a batter mid-swing and a catcher and umpire on the field, and roughly a dozen spectators seen from behind in the foreground wearing brimmed hats and raising arms. Painted cartoon style, slightly glossy with reflections.
