On June 6th, Major League Baseball began a unique promotion in New York City to commemorate the 2008 All-Star game at Yankee Stadium.  MLB strategically "placed" 8 foot replicas of the Statue of Liberty throughout the city of New York.

42 different painted statues were hidden - celebrating the 30 teams, the Brooklyn Dodgers and various other New York City baseball related monuments.

Photos of "found" statues have been popping up on the internet since the marketing campaign began at the beginning of June.  Since the statues are painted with team colors and logos...tourists from baseball towns across the nation made it a point to search, or ask the locals, for the location of their respective "team" Statue of Liberty.

MLB finally caved in on Tuesday, and released the geographical location of all 42 statues.  In case you fancy yourself a Cards fan and can't get to 1290 6th Avenue (between 51st and 52nd Streets) in New York City before All Star weekend, here's a picture of Lady Liberty decked out in Cardinal red.

 

Fear not, fans of the 29 other teams, for the geographic locator linked above will directy you to your respective liberty statues.  Yes, even you Toronto (freaking Canadiens).   Naturally, the Yankees have two because of that vaunted, evil East Coast Bias.

By the way, small replica statues are being sold on MLB.com right now.  Who saw that coming? 

Knowing Major League Baseball, the full sized version will surely be for sale a few days after All Star weekend - or various pieces and body parts will be auctioned off on MLB.com.
