Just got my email from MSU Athletics about Baseball Opener on Friday.

One of the bullet points was "Thunder & Lightning" Statue Unveiling.

Guess that answers that question.

Congrats to Hadad and Joel T. It's a super weird choice but what a huge honor.

Why did they do HD6 at 1/3 scale? Although at least they got the height right.*

They had that as part of the "Fan Day" or pregame festivities this weekend advertised on the jumbotron at the bball game last night. I said to my buddy that I was thinking it was the first official announcement of the identities of the statues.

The thing is... MSU missed an opportunity to keep it a secret and build a story out of the unveiling. Instead they just choose to passively reveal them.

The statues are sentinels to the entry point of what will arguably be the best collegiate ballpark in the nation. Unveiling them should have been a bigger deal than a bullet point in an email is all I'm saying.

I mean let’s be real did you honestly think it was going to be anyone but Clark and Palmeiro?....

I would think that more people enter the stadium through the right field gate than through the entrance behind home plate, I wonder if that would have been a more visible location for the statues? I do not know that I have ever entered from that direction and I have attended games since the old Dude opened, I probably have and just don't remember it. I guess it depends a lot on where you park.

I read a few days ago that the Clark and Palmeiro statues were donated by the artist. Hopefully they were free for some reason other than being Lucy-esque.

The new "Ring of Honor" is going to be located in the right field entrance, so there will be something at both.
FYI, I enter thru the homeplate entrance and there is never a shortage of people using those gates.
