There Should Be More Statues

That is easily my favorite sports statue in the world. Bobby Orr soaring. It's nice. But could there be more statues? I have some ideas on what moments should be commemorated in their place of lore.


  • Fenway Park needs more. They've got the Teammates and one of Ted Williams, but there's many more moments to be commemorated. Maybe one of Yaz who saved the Sox in '67. Maybe Fisk when he waved it fair. Maybe one of Dustin Pedroia!
  • I whole-heartily agree that Fisk should have a statue, but I have to single this out. There's gotta be something from the 2004 season. Here are my top five choices for a 2004 statue. Varitek smashing A-Roid, Dave Roberts' steal, Ortiz's walk-off, Schilling's bloody sock, the final out of the World Series. Make it happen.
  • The Swamp in Gainesville could use another Tebow statue. They have one already and also a plaque, but Tebow is so great he needs another. Maybe the jump pass, or the chomp, or the red jersey game. Denver should recognize him too.
  • The Swiss Inn & Tennis Center in Switzerland should definitely commemorate Roger Federer's contributions to the sport and the country.
  • When Brady and Belichick and Kraft are all gone, they should give them each a statue. That'd be nice to see. They're all so influential.
  • Outside of Leicester Middle School, a statue of Caleb should be erected in mid-Calebing form. That'd be awesome. I'll make it happen.

  1. Well, not sure if some of them will ever see the light of day. I agree, though, that Fenway needs more! :)
