Statues of Liberty on Parade

To celebrate the 2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, to be held in Yankees Stadium on July 15, 2008, MLB launched "Statues on Parade." Forty-two replicas of the Statue of Liberty are stationed around the city leading up to the game - each uniquely designed with bold graphics and colors featuring each of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants, the American League, the National League, four All-Star statues and statues commemorating the final season of Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. The 8 1/2 feet tall, 250 pound statues are made of resin and rest on a 530-pound cement base.

Here are some pictures of the different statues around the city.

The New York Mets statue is located outside Penn Station and Madison Square Garden on Seventh Aveue.


The All-Star Game statue is outside FOX News Studios at 1211 Avenue of the Americas.


The Los Angeles Dodgers statue is outside Niketown at 6 East 57th Street.


The Boston Red Sox statue is inside the Sports Museum of America at 26 Broadway.
