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