Statues

A statue of Sandy would be great, but then there are a few other guys who would deserve statues too. Then you have statues everywhere, like St. Louis.

A nice section dedicated to each individual HOF’er in the interactive museum that’s in the Next 50 plan should be enough.

As far as I’m concerned, if we’re gonna start building statues, Vin should be the first one built.

We could tell Jeff Kent that the new museum is second base, and have him “field” the position. Whammo: there’s statue #2!

I can't think of any Los Angeles Dodger

who deserves a statue more then Sandy Koufax. However I’d be pleased to see a combo statue of Big D/Sandy standing back to back with the ball in the hand they threw from.

I love Vinny but a statue of a citizen doesn’t work for me. Would have been cool to name the new complex in Arizona after Vinny.

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

"A citizen"??????????????

Vin has more than earned statue status with his contributions to the Dodgers.

Were all citizens aren’t we?
