Apples On Parade

[Ceetar]

Apple Parade around NYC. Apples!

[metirish]

What they really mean apples on parade in Manhattan , oh, and one in Queens cos well it was already there.

[Edgy MD]

After all those nice things I said about Houston and West 4th, those freakin' fake BoHos between Canal and 14th can't be bothered to erect an apple?

[Ceetar]

so conspiracy theories about why the (Los Angeles) Dodgers are banished way up in Harlem? They like Dino BBQ?

It's a good thing they didn't do anything like this for the Yankee Stadium ASG. A parade of douchebags would be pretty tacky.

They did Statues of Liberty on parade for the ASG at Yankee Stadium in 2008.

Way to ruin a good Yankees' slagging with the facts.

Thanks for the heads-up on all this, C. I "borrowed" your NYG pic for FB (credit given). And now, I fear, I must have several ASG Apple figurines.

At least I probably won't be spending it on WS tix.

I'm concerned about how many 'several' I might want. and my house just fell through, so nowhere to put them..hmm..

I saw the Red Sox one on my way home. I guess working in Midtown I'll manage to see most of them.

Apples On Parade

I didn't know apples could walk.

I love the Statue of Liberty. I hated those Liberties on Parade. They looked like graffiti on our beloved Lady in the Harbor.

I see the suck bug has bit Nieuwenhuis.

Third game in a row you've mis-posted an in-game comment.

The suck bug has a lot of victims.

is the yankees' apple the most uninspired, least imaginitive design possible?

what ever happened to the top hat logo? or are they too busy being serious all the time? if i were a yankee fan, i'd be all about the top hat - screw the interlocking ny and the pinstripes and the nnob. the top hat is where its at. but then, if i were a yankee fan, i'd be an insufferable douche...

A lot of the apples aren't up yet. I'll probably wander out at lunch looking for the Yankees and Tigers today. (Didn't see the league ones, the Miami one, or the Diamondbacks one this morning in the spots listed)

I agree on the top hat logo, but it might have too much character for the modern day Yankees.

[Frayed Knot]

Any truth to the rumor that the Rangers apple in Zucotti Park has already been covered with graffiti, tipped over and trashed because it's seen as representative of the 1% ?

No, because they think it's part of free healthcare. An Apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Yankee apple isn't at Modells yet, found this though.

"Patriotic top hats are cool!"

The Royals apple is in front of Fox on the Avenue of the Americas. It's on a little patio two steps up from street level where they probably do outdoor shows or something. Both stairwells had a metal grate thingy blocking it, but hey, it's a street corner and I'm a New Yorker, so I didn't let that stop me from getting the picture up close.

Sure did piss off some security guard though. I had my headphones in anyway, but I did hear him yelling and whistling. As I'm leaving he was quite annoyed. Dropping words like "private property" and "trespassing". I pointed out that there are 34 other apples right out in the public to be seen and he didn't seem to care. Stood in my way until I just said "Okay, I"m leaving" and walked past him.

This guy really needs to get into the All-Star Spirit! must be a Yankees fan.

[Edgy MD]

Hear that, Frayed Knot? He said "Avenue of the Americas."

I'm telling you, give it another 70 years and this Koch Bridge thingie might catch on.

[Frayed Knot]

I heard some guy on FAN the other day claiming he couldn't find some of the apples, that they weren't where they were supposed to be or something.
Naturally he blamed the Wilpons.

obviously. they're greedily keeping them.

They've all been rolled out now I think. There were some delays with some of the outdoor ones (And the Tampa one had a last minute change in location) but as of this week they've all shown up.
