Artist’s commentary, copypasta’d from the original dA page:

Yes, this is Meowth and Giovanni from Pokémon… at a Mets game. ¬_¬; There’s a bit of a story behind this one…
As some of you may or may not know, Meowth in the English version of Pokémon was long voiced by a lady by the name of Maddie Blaustein, who to my ultimate sadness I learned passed away recently. I don’t remember how or when exactly, but at some point several years ago I read something written by Maddie, when she expressed that her ultimate dream for Meowth would have to be going to a New York Mets game (Maddie’s fave team) with ‘da Boss’, Giovanni. It was just such a cute mental image that I felt obligated to draw it, this being the result… so even though it’s not one of my greatest pieces I wanted to share it. Done with my fabulously cheap Crayola markers.
RIP Maddie… we love you!

(FYPV’s note: Maddie Blaustein passed away on 11 December 2008.)
