Shout out to Val for giving me a nickname that I'm sure came after I joined this club!

I think I'm catching on here!

Chad Ochoseis wrote: Cleveland Indians (Non player. Did wear a uniform and mentioned in this thread) Is Frank Robinson getting a statue to go with his HoF induction? Yes he did!

DocTee wrote: Annoying 90's Cardinal: Jack Buck. You meant Joe right? Either way, no. The father was in the first class, the other probably wouldn’t get inducted into the Cards Hall. You are on the right track, but its not why the guy is in the Cards’ Hall.

Edgy MD wrote: The statue that the Braves left behind in Atlanta and rebuilt in Cobb County is Hank Aaron. Yup Atlanta-Fulton County/Turner Field SunTrust

HahnSolo wrote: Perhaps Corey Hart is the Rico Brogna of the Brewers? Yup!

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I'll guess the nonuniformed Twins guy is Carl Pohlad Already said as a wrong guess!

HahnSolo wrote: I'll try Tom Kelly for the Twinkies statue

Edgy MD wrote: The Braves' statue is Bobby Cox, who was something of a statue as a manager.

HahnSolo wrote: Thanks to the hints, I have numerous guesses. Pepper Martin for the Cardinals. Yup!

Chad Ochoseis wrote: St Louis Cardinals (Hint, became quite annoying starting in the 1990s) Vince Coleman? LOL! Not a bad guess, but Vincent Van Go is not yet in the Red Bird Hall. And I didn't mean annoying on a specific Metly level.

Rockin' Doc wrote: For the Minnesota statue I am going to guess Calvin Griffith, the long-time owner that brought them to Minnesota from Washington. Already has one.

41Forever wrote: The Reds statue is Pete Rose. We were there for a game in May, and the base was already in place. They had models of the statue in the museum, of Pete diving head first. Kind of a cool statue in terms of physics. Yup Ceremony was done before the sex scandal broke. I doubt the Reds will remove the statue, him from their Hall or unretire his #14 though.

Chad Ochoseis wrote: I really should know the Indians answers, given that I live about five minutes from the statues. But I've been ignoring Cleveland news lately, and I haven't been to the ballpark except for quick drivebys. I'll guess Bill Veeck for the nonplayer statue. That would be a wreck of a statue! But no. Both Indian statue honorees have had previous Cleveland baseball team honors in the past.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: The Twin with the Mets connection must be Cuddyer Yup!

41Forever wrote: Vlad Guerrero must be the Angel’s honoree! Yup! Probably to entice him to advise Cooperstown that he'd like to don an Angel cap on his plaque over an Expo one. Though I'd imagine the Nats would still add him to the Ring of Honor anyway! Even though he spent all 8 seasons with that franchise in Montreal!

Zvon wrote: Metly connection Twin: Gardenhire. Good guess, but no! Johan. JoNo! Right track though, from certain points of view, when it comes to a Metly connection. Anyone guess Aguilera yet? I'd look my my internet is moving at a crawl ATM. He's in already.

41Forever wrote: 41Forever wrote: 41Forever wrote: Having scored with Ivan Rodriguez with the Rangers, I'll try him again with the Nationals as a team HOF inductee. Yup, Pudge is on their Ring of Honor. This one doesn't seem justified. Would be as if the Mets put Rickey Henderson in the team's Hall of Fame. I agree. I think the rational was that he “made it cool to come to the Nats” or something like that. The other one is a bit more egregious! Oh my, did they do Raines, too? They put Carter and Dawson in their Ring of Honor back in 2010 (Carter attended the ceremony)
