I saw the Clemente statue on the outside. Who was the other statue - Willie Stargell?
Yes, and sadly Stargell died after a long illness on the morning that the stadium opened. His statue was unveiled only a couple of hours after the announcement of his death. It was a very bittersweet day in Pittsburgh.
Oh my goodness. I knew that Pops passed away, but I did not know the history with the timing of the statue. I always loved watching him, Blyleven, Dave Parker, and Garner play on those late 70s/early 80s teams.
