To celebrate the 2008 Major League Baseball All Star Game, which will take place in Yankee Stadium, in its final season, on July 15, 2008, Major League Baseball launched "Statues on Parade." Forty-two replicas of the Statue of Liberty were stationed around the city leading up to the game--each uniquely designed with bold graphics and colors featuring each of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants, the American League, the National League, four All-Star statues and statues commemorating the final season of Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. The 8½ feet tall, 250-pound statues are made of resin and rest on a 530-pound cement base.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim statue stood outside 1185 Sixth Avenue.

You should spray paint on the wall behind the statue, "Angels Own The Yankees"

Let's not delude ourselves, they really don't care tuppence about us...

...and we really shouldn’t desire their hatred.

Beating them regularly is enough for me.

I see red people

Not actually true.

Everywhere I go, when I meet a Yankees fan and tell them I’m an Angels fan, their response is: “Man, I HATE playing you guys. We always lose.”

At the last all-fans message board I went to, playing the Angels ranked well above testing shark-bite suits on the list of things they hated to do. The sheer dread that accompanied the realization that they would have to play us in the 2005 playoffs was incredible.

We don’t really need their hatred. We already have their FEAR.
