Defacing an American icon in the name of the MLB All-Star Game

What does the Statue of Liberty have in common with the Dodgers, Angels or any of the other 28 teams in Major League Baseball?
Nothing.
Except that there's now a version of Lady Liberty graffittied up in Dodger red, white and blue, and in Angels red, white and whatever other color that is (including the Al Jolson face) as part of the decore around town to trumpet the MLB All Star Game coming to Yankee Stadium this Tuesday.
The Dodger-colored statue is on 57th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan; the Angels is on 6th Avenue and 45th Street near Times Square, in case you're thinking of coming by and swiping it in the broad daylight.
The emotional-tugging element to Tuesday's exhibition determinant of who has the home-field advantage for the World Series is a parade of Hall of Famers who'll be driving through mid-town Manhattan, from Bryant Park to Central Park (and past these statues) and into the stadium for a big to-do before the first pitch.
Tommy Lasorda, Don Sutton and Eddie Murray are among the former Dodgers to take part; Rod Carew is a former Angels on the docket. Frank Robinson covers both teams.
