"I absolutely love this photo and the submission really pulled the heart strings"
Congratulations Brad Carter
“There’s no place my Dad loves to go more than to watch The Mariners at T-Mobile Park (Formerly Safeco Field). I was always into sports growing up but Pop didn’t have much time for it. As he was able to free up from his busy touring schedule he discovered how much he loved baseball and got into The Mariners almost as much as I was into The Seahawks. Baseball became a great way for us to bond not only as father & son, but as best friends.”
- Brad Carter
The Custom Design
Once Brad’s submission was voted as the winner I thought about how I could customize it to make it personal for his dad Bill. I noticed in the submission photo that his dad was wearing a hat that said “USAF VET”, which helped inspire this design. The jumboton features an artistic rendering of the American flag, the United States Air Force logo and the name “Bill Carter”. I also added 6 United States Air Force Jets performing a flyover, forming the colors of the U.S. flag. Printed on the bottom edge of the canvas is words pulled from the entry; “Baseball became a great way for us to bond not only as father & son, but as best friends.”
"Baseball became a great way for us to bond not only as father & son, but as best friends."
