Emanuel Enriquez/Bowling Green, Ohio/ “The Knothole Gang” - This sculpture will be placed on the sidewalk surrounding the ballpark on the St. Clair Street side. It depicts a gang of four life-sized children attempting to look through the knotholes of a fence to see who’s at bat. The figures will be made of bronze while the fence will be made of a weathered barn siding type wood. The piece references the “Knothole Gang” kids who used to frequent Swayne Field, a former home of the Mud Hens.

John Rogers/ Portland, Oregon/ Main Entry Gates - The design utilizes large 14-18 foot wooden bats to frame in steel gates that will have baseball themed elements attached to them The main entrance is located on the corner of Huron and Washington. Mr. Rogers has been commissioned to do major architectural artwork installations for Florida State University, Miami and Portland International Airports, Boeing Corporation and other public and private groups.

Leslie Adams/ Toledo, Ohio/ Historical Mural - The 13-by-84-foot mural will be located on the Washington Street side of the ballpark opposite of Superior Street. The section of Superior Street that has been removed for the ballpark was the site of Toledo’s original farmer’s market. The mural will be completed in such a manner that it will appear as if you are looking into the original farmer’s market. Ms. Adams was recently the subject of a feature article in The Toledo Blade on October 13, 2001. She is a nationally-recognized portrait artist and muralist who created the mural for St. John’s Jesuit High School in Toledo.

Frank Gaylord/ Barre, Vermont/ “I Got It!” - The bronze sculpture features three life-sized boys in old-time uniforms competing for a fly ball. The sculpture will be placed on a turntable to be designed by the University of Toledo’s Engineering Department. The sculpture will be placed on the concourse area just outside the left field foul line near Monroe and Superior. The turntable will be designed to sit in two positions. One position, posed at game time, will allow the figures to appear as if they are vying for a foul fly ball. During pre-game, the other position poses the figures facing Monroe Street providing for a perfect photo opportunity with the field and ballpark as the backdrop. At the start of each game the turntable will be ceremoniously turned. Mr. Gaylord is best known for creating the Korean War Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Jim Gallucci/ Greensboro, North Carolina/ Manhole Covers - The manhole covers in and around the ballpark will be replaced with baseball-themed manhole covers. Mr. Gallucci has enjoyed several major public commissions. Most notably, he created “Millennium Gates” for the state of North Carolina’s millennial celebration.
