The mural reads "Nino," an affectionate referent, alongside Fernandez's No. 16 and the Cuban flag. A bat hovers above with the word "saudades," a Portuguese equivalent to "miss you."
Stanton and Ramos each shared videos of the process on Twitter:
The water background also serves as a fitting touch to commemorate Fernandez, whom his teammates and fans will never forget.
