These dont turn up very often and I was lucky enough to snag this one. It is just so cool looking I had to show it off. |

Beautiful figure. I have a large football and bowling Kail collection, but am not too familiar wtih Baseball Kails. Is this a statue that Fred Kail made recently in a limited quantity or is it of some vintage? |

This statue was made for the 1970 Orioles. It is signed and numbered on the bottom by Kail. Kail baseball statues are very rare. He has said himself that less than 100 were ever made. |

Thanks Mark. I am waiting to hear back from Lou at ITPC to hear what he has to say about it. Hopefully he will be able to enlighten me. Unfortunately I may be forced to part ways with this piece if (and I imagine I will) over spend in the up coming auctions. Hunts just got me, and with Mastro, Lelands and... well you know where I'm coming from. |

Brock, as an Orioles fan who has seen just about everything I must say that is awesome. I think it is clearly the best Kail statue. Congrats on the pick up and thanks for sharing. |

Thanks Marc. This piece is part of Kail's newer line of statues. I've seen many of his new football statues but this Orioles statue is the only baseball one I have seen. So its not a vintage piece but considering the price you would have to pay for a original 60's Kail baseball statue (there are only a handful known to exist) its an excellent alternative. |

Hi Everyone! My name is Lou and I'm new to this incredible forum. Some of you might know me from Inside the Park Collectibles. I have been active in the hobby for more than 25 years and I love figural memorabilia. I might be able to shed some light on the baseball Kails. |

Is it Boog Powell or just anonymous? |

The original Kail baseball statues as well as the football statues are generic. Although they may resemble Boog Powell or Ted Kluszewski, the form of the statue was always the same. The only difference is the team colors and letters. Below are some pictures of other baseball kails that we've handled. Please note that the Yankee is a smaller size and batting right-handed. |

Like Lou said, the figures are all the same and generic but I dont think its a coincidence that he chose the #26 for the Oriole statue. |
