The mural, designed by Bob Palmer, took a team from July 16 to 18 to complete. The mural was paid for by a donation made to the City of Chandler from Texas Rangers pitcher Jon Gray. The baseball player, a Chandler native, made the donation in December 2023 when he visited shortly after helping his team win the World Series. Photos/Brian Blansett
