(by Brett Kahn)The name of the piece is "Shea Stadium Classic" by Thomas Kolendra. The following description comes directly from Ebay...
"It measures 15 1/2" height by 36" width published in 1993. It's getting close to midnight, October 27, 1986, Game 7 of the World Series, and Jesse Orosco is on his knees exulting after striking out Marty Barrett for the final out of the game. Shea Stadium is rocking. After losing the first two games of the Series to the Red Sox, the Mets have stormed back to capture the second World Championship in their history and first since 1969. Gary Carter (C), Keith Hernandez (1B), Wally Backman (2B), Rafael Santana (SS), Ray Knight (3B), Mookie Wilson (LF), Lenny Dykstra (CF) and Darryl Strawberry (RF) are ready to join the celebration."
