The Bronx
was brimming with excitement as opening day returned to Yankee Stadium, and
one local artist took the extra step to contribute to the glee.
Bronx
artist Andre Trenier, who has been painting murals since 2003, cooked up a new
Yankees mural near the stadium to welcome fans back.
Trenier has
become a staple around Yankee Stadium, with over a dozen spray-painted murals
that include legends Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson.
But this
year, he was looking for something more personal.
"Hopefully
the fans will enjoy it, and they'll come and support these businesses,"
Trenier says. "I know these businesses are looking forward to the season
getting started, so yeah man, I know everybody is looking forward to it.
Trenier's
artwork can be found throughout the 161st Street and River Avenue area near
Yankee Stadium.
