Rod Carew played at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota, the current location of the Mall of America. His Statue is at Target Field, a 40 minute Metro ride north of the Mall. Between Metropolitan Stadium and Target Field, the Twins played at The Hubert Humphrey Metrodome. That is now the site of the US Bank Stadium, where the Vikings play.
Although Yogi Berra spent the bulk of his career in Yankee Stadium, it was a different Yankee Stadium that was located one block south of the current one in the Bronx. Yogi's statue is in the Yankees Museum. The Museum is located on the main level of Yankee Stadium near Gate 6.
For those keeping score, just 2 out of 8 actually played in the ballpark where these statues are located.
Just got off the D.L. so I got a chance to scope out your latest creations. Really enjoy the Spahn, Jackie and of course Yogi the most. All are good though, and represent a creative spin on what a card can be. If Topps ever comes up with inserts like this then they owe you! "Buzz" Bryant.
