I knew that Babe was from Baltimore, and that they are very proud of

statue and no statue of Cal Ripkin, Jr., or Earl Weaver, or Brooks
Robinson, or Frank Robinson, or Jim Palmer.  Just Babe Ruth.

In the end, it's all about the Yankees, isn't it?<G>

Of course it is. After all, despite what Torontians think, New York is the center of the universe. If you want confirmation just ask any New Yorker...

I spent some time wandering around Baltimore last week, while my wife
was at a science teachers' convention.  I visited the Orioles' Park at
Camden Yards, a beautiful baseball facility.  There were plaques
honoring the players in the Orioles Hall of Fame, and a few players
were represented by sculptures their uniform numbers
outside the main entrance.  There was only one statue of a player,
however, and I invite Americans who follow baseball to identify the
player given this singular honor:
