Razor Shines and Max Schumacher celebrating in the home clubhouse at Bush Stadium

PAINTED ON JUNE 1, 2023

Witsken's first mural shares a joyful clubhouse celebration between one of the team's all-time greats, Razor Shines (left), and longtime Indianapolis Indians president and general manager, Max Schumacher (right), after the Indians – affiliated with the Montreal Expos at the time – beat the Denver Zephyrs in a best-of-seven series on a walk-off hit in Game 7.

Sept. 9, 1986: In the most thrilling fashion, the Indians won Game 7 of the 1986 American Association Championship Series over Denver on a Billy Moore two-out, bases-loaded single that drove in the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the ninth at Bush Stadium. The base hit plated Tom Romano and Casey Candaele to propel the Indians to their first of four consecutive American Association titles to close out the 1980s.
