The one overriding theme of Suite 70 is, of course, home run number 70. This magnificent shot of that historic event hung on the wall of the room, showing McGwire at the moment of realization that the shot he had just hit was indeed going to fly into the left field stands at Busch Stadium. Both gloved hands upraised, Big Mac strides toward first base, his eyes riveted to the ball, as the red-bedecked fans in the grandstand whoop it up behind him. Photo has a plaque crediting the photo to Tim Parker of Reuters. The exposed image is 36.5 wide and 47” tall and mounted within a white matted border surface under glass in a handsome black metal frame sized to 49” x 56.5”. EX-MT condition.
(Estimate $500 - $700)
