In what is becomming a Wezen-ball staple, Lar takes on something that no one else thought of but everyone flat out loves. Today’s posting is no different:

But what would a list like this be without a little personal taste thrown in? I’ve listed the thirty ballclubs and their roster of statues below, in order of my most favorite collection of statues to my least favorite (based solely on their pictures, of course). This is in no way scientific, so I can’t say that the factors involved in each club’s rank are perfectly consistent across the league. However, the factors did tend to focus on uniqueness, execution, and number (I tend not to like too many statues). I’ll explain my choices as I list them. And if there’s anything the internet has taught me, it’s that most of you will disagree with me in some way. Which is fine. We’re only talking about team statues, after all.

Just incredible, Lar.

And his Yanks’ rank:

15. Yankees: Don Larsen, Yogi Berra. The monuments in Monument Park don’t fit the scope of this post. Are these the only two statues in Yankee Stadium? It’s a good design, with Larsen pitching to Yogi, but a little too simple.

Now, I am biased but I love how the exhibit (hundreds of autographed baseballs under the flight of the pitch from Larsen to Berra) just flows.

You can see it in the picture to the right. Larsen (out of shot) is on the other end. Notice the home plate and batters boxes, too. It’s really neat.

The virtual path of the ball acts as the line below which contains a ridiculous display of autographed baseballs (below)
