Only New York City and Los Angeles can claim more native residents enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame than Mobile.
No city the size of Mobile can even come close to claiming five homegrown Major League Baseball Hall of Famers. And to celebrate the city’s lineage with America’s Pastime, all five will be honored with statues dedicated to them at Hero Plaza in downtown Mobile.The Mobile City Council will consider on Tuesday at $148,914 contract with Volkert Inc. to continue with project management duties and engineering while the city seeks out a bidder who can construct it.
“It’s in a bit of a lull until that bid comes back,” said Johnson, referring to the plaza’s construction at the western edge of the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center along Water Street. “We’re getting there. As soon as the work will start as quickly as it can.”A maquette of a Hank Aaron statue that will be showcased within the Hall of Fame Courtyard in Mobile, Ala., was unveiled during a ceremony on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center. .
Mobile has a unique history with professional baseball, and one that no other city its size can share. Only New York City and Los Angeles can claim more native residents enshrined in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.The names of Mobile's famous baseball players, including Hall of Famers like Satchel Paige, surround a Hank Aaron monument at a city park that dates back to 1947.
Brett Grill, the sculptor hired to make the structures, is working on the statues at his studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was hired in March 2022. The project’s price-tag is “not to exceed” $1.18 million.
