Statues at Miller Park, Milwaukee WI

Recently, when the Milwaukee Brewers were out of town, I stopped by Miller Park to take photos of statues located outside Miller Park.  They turned out pretty good considering it was very sunny and the middle of the day.  The photos were taken in color, however I flipped them to black and white because I enjoy the effect.
                                                                                                                                                                 
"The Milwaukee Brewers biggest star today is a career .200 hitter who's never even played for the team. But Bob Uecker, the radio voice of the team for 32 years, has just about done it all. Nationwide, fans still remember Uecker as an actor, comedian and author. To Brewers fans, though, he's a no nonsense scholar of the game who's not afraid to criticize a pitcher who can't throw strikes. Here in Milwaukee, we also appreciate him for his dry sense of humor that can keep any game entertaining, even when the team is mired in a slump."- Columnist Andy Tarnoff in OnMilwaukee.com (April 4, 2002)

                                                                                                                                                                  

Robin Yount was a productive hitter who excelled in the field at two of baseball's most challenging positions -- shortstop and center field. Playing his entire 20-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers, he collected more hits in the 1980s than any other player and finished with an impressive career total of 3,142. An every day Major Leaguer at age 18, Yount earned MVP Awards at two positions and his 1982 MVP campaign carried the Brewers to the World Series.

                                                                                                                                                                  

 Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron (born February 5, 1934), nicknamed "Hammer," or "Hammerin' Hank," is a retired American baseball right fielder who played 23 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1954 through 1976. Aaron spent 21 seasons with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves in the National League (NL) before playing for the Milwaukee Brewers of the American League (AL) for the final two years of his career. Aaron is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. In 1999, The Sporting News ranked Aaron fifth on their "100 Greatest Baseball Players" list.

                                                                                                                                                                    

Allan H. "Bud" Selig, Jr. is the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, a role he has held officially since 1998, and held on an interim basis (as Chairman of the Major League Executive Council) before that, starting in 1992.

Selig, a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, began his participation in Baseball as a majority shareholder of the Boston Braves in the early 1950s. After the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1965, he sold his stock in the team, and five years later, he purchased the bankrupt Seattle Pilots franchise and moved it to Milwaukee, renaming them the Brewers.

                                                                                                                                                               

Another sculpture, Teamwork by Omri Amrany, honors three Iron Workers Local 8 members killed during the construction of the stadium.  This is only one of the three. The lighting was pretty bad and only this one came out good enough to keep.  

I plan on returning to Miller Park when baseball season is over to re-take the statues.  Might be interesting - especially in Winter.  I wonder if they shovel that area?
