Harry Caray statue
1.) What do you think of the statues that are currently displayed around the Majors either at the ballpark or located in close proximity?
Fewer is better - I’d rather see 3 or 4 historically-important figures than 9 or 10 fan favorites.
2.) What's your opinion of the type 'motion' art-style used in the Walter Johnson, Josh Gibson and Frank Howard statues in Washington?
Not fond of them, though I can kind of see why someone thought it would be cool.
3.) Which statue currently displayed is your favorite?
As a Cubs fan myself, it has to be the Harry Caray statue outside Wrigley, for a couple of reasons:
- people keep putting cans of Budweiser in Harry’s outstretched hand, which seems natural to me.
- if you look near his feet, you’ll see what I can only imagine is a statement on the “middle century” of Cubs history - the souls of generations of Cubs fans, trapped in cheerful despair.
4.) Whose statue would you like to see added to the current group.
It’s not practical, but a statue of Connie Mack sitting in the Athletics dugout for all time would make me smile.
