They are not that easy to find but affordable.

Think that it’s cool that the gold glove was incorporated into the figure. Also, love that a kid is incorporated; gives the honest connection with young people and their hero. I know they did this with the statue in York, PA (which I have not visited yet).
While I don’t have many awards I do have one given to Brooks from the Boys Club shown with a young person.
Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day. Our fallen troops are well worth remembering.
