Hi

I'm currently putting together a website cataloging all of the USA’s baseball statues - http://www.sportingstatues.com - as such I was wondering if anyone out there could let me know what the plaque inscription on Kent Hrbek's recent statue says - I can't find a photo of the plaque anywhere. Answers to c.b.stride(at)sheffield.ac.uk please :-)

cheers

Chris

I finally made it out there. I took a picture that I can post later when I'm not on my phone, but the plaque reads:

 

"

 

Kent Hrbek

Minnesota Twins

1981 - 1994

 

Kent Hrbek to his wife Jeanie Hrbek,

before the start of the 1987 playoffs

 

"I don't want to win the World Series

for me, but for all of the fans

of Twins baseball."

If you are going make sporting statues I hope you are going to include something about Kirby Puckett's statue. Or better known as Tonya's revenge. The Star Tribune gossip columnist C.J. wrote about this because the statue doesn't look anything like Kirby and is his ex-wife's way of getting back for his sexual harassment business. The Twins wanted it too like as much as him and let Tonya have the final say. Personally he looks like fat chipmunk.

 

Also I hope you are going to talk about the Michael Jackson statue at Fulham's Craven Cottage. If you do not know what I am talking about it is worth a Google.
