The Orioles are honoring the legends this year.
Here is the blurb from their website:
The statues will stand in the Garden of the Greats picnic area behind center field.At six special games this season, the Orioles are celebrating the six greatest Birds of all time -- Frank, Earl, Jim, Eddie, Cal and Brooks -- with the Orioles Legends Celebration Series. Each of these games will cement the players' places at Oriole Park as their larger-than-life bronze sculptures are unveiled. All fans in attendance will receive an exact miniature replica sculpture that's sure to be one of the hottest collectibles ever to come out of Birdland.On April 28th the Frank Robinson sculpture was unveiled:
