    In one of several publicity stunts in the weeks leading up to the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, Major League Baseball has commissioned 42 Statue of Liberty replicas to be placed around the city. 30 are decorated for each major league team, with additional statues decorated in celebration of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York (baseball) Giants, the National League, the American League, and celebrating the final seasons at Yankee and Shea Stadium, amongst others.

    The statues, according to mlb.com, were rolled out starting this past Friday, and replicas can be purchased in their store.

    Although I am, admittedly, a Mets fan, I came upon the design for the Red Sox version of Lady Liberty.Yankees fans, brace yourselves. You're about to get quite angry.
