Major
League Baseball All-Star Statues of Liberty
on Display at Liberty and Ellis Islands
As part of its All-Star salute to New York City, which is hosting the 79th
All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday July 15th, Major League Baseball
will place a series of 42 MLB-decorated Statue of Liberty replicas around the
city. The American League and National League statues will be on exhibit at two
of the most popular destinations in the Big Apple—the Statue of Liberty and
Ellis Island.
Each eight and a half
foot tall statue is uniquely adorned with bold graphics featuring the 30 MLB
Clubs, Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants, four All-Star statues, and statues
commemorating the final season of Yankee and Shea stadiums. They will be on
display at locations throughout New York City by June 23 and remain on view
until the week after the All-Star Game. Liberty Island will host the American
League statue and Ellis Island the National League statue.
Nine-inch replicas as
well as t-shirts featuring the All-Star Statues are available for purchase. A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the replicas and t-shirts benefits The
Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc.
“What can be better
than pairing America’s favorite pastime with America’s most beloved icon?” says
Tommy Lasorda, legendary manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Foundation
board member. “And knowing this helps to support Lady Liberty and Ellis Island,
where my father entered this great country, makes it even more fantastic.”
A must-have for
baseball fans young and old alike, these distinctive MLB All-Star Statue
replicas are available for purchase
here.
