Ex-Fox in Bronze

Dave McNally, a member of the 1961 Fox Cities Foxes, getting a statue made of him in front of the new stadium in his hometown.

Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams Sr. are just some of the country music greats Billings artist Bill Rains has cast in bronze sculptures. Now Rains is doing the same for the late Billings major league baseball star Dave McNally.

Bill Rains says this will be his last bronze monument, after 17 larger than life monuments and 200 sculptures. He has also done four-thousand paintings and will pursue that full time. But before that, he's making the Dave McNally statue for the new Billings ball park.

Neat idea.

Thanks to ballparkdigest.com for the tip.
