Cal's Statue

Wasn't Thursday fun for so many reasons?

New Statues at Camden Yards

I can't get over how great these new statues look. It really does a lot for the bullpen picnic area. 

Orioles Bobblehead/Figure of the Week- Oriole Weaver

Last Saturday, the Orioles unveiled the second "Orioles Legends Celebration Series" statue in the center-field flag court at Camden Yards. This time around it was Earl Weaver, the Earl of Baltimore, who was honored with a sculpture. 

Once again the team gave away replica statues to all fans in attendance. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture of the full size statue, but here are some shots of my figure. 

I like the pose, but thought the design might feature one of his classic hat backwards arguments with an umpire looks. 

Here are a few more views of the statue, including images of the box.  

Well done O's!

Orioles "Bobblehead" of the Week- Frank Robinson Statue

Prior to the Orioles' game against the A's on Saturday, April 28, the team honored Frank Robinson with a large statue in the centerfield picnic area. It was the first of six statues that will be debuted over the course of the season to honor the six Orioles Hall of Famers who have their numbers retired by the team. The team is calling it the "Orioles Legends Celebration Series" and you can find more information about it by clicking the link. 

To coincide with the full size statues, the team is giving away miniature replica statues. And they are nice. Check out the Frank.

I can't wait to add the other five to my collection. Brooks was to have had the statue unveiling today but it has been pushed to the end of the season due to his recent health issues.
