All three men wear New York Mets home uniforms. Baltimore Orioles catcher Elrod Hendricks is standing behind home plate in profile with his back and right side visible. He is looking down with his hands on his hips. Umpire Larry Napp is standing in the right-handed batter's box and is about to throw the baseball in his right hand to Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer.
