So, one day I was driving back home and in the distance I caught a quick glimpse of a 7.5 feet tall Mickey Mouse statue! For my love of all things Disney, I had to find out what it was. I came closer to the statue and noticed that it was designed in a Major League Baseball theme. I found out online that there are 36 of these Mickey statues scattered across Southern California in celebration of All-Star Week festivities.
There are statues in 30 different Major League designs, 4 all-Star designs and an American League and National League design. I quickly penciled in plans to find all 36 before July 13th (the day they would all be removed)!! Here are statues from the American League.
