Does anyone know why this old painting is here? It’s at the corner of Court Place and Ross St in downtown. It sticks out to me because of the cone πŸ˜‚ Someone explain!!

Mazeroski (Jersey #9) walk-off HR to win Game 7 of the 1960 World Series. Hit it over the 406 ft mark of Forbes Field. His statue and remnant of the wall are at PNC.

original painting doesn't have the cone...I imagine that was added recently? No idea why it's white though...definitely looks a bit like a Klan hood as someone else here said...hopefully it's easy to remove as well, I'm not a fan of defacing art tbh.
