The Aaron Monument is a public art work by artist Brian Maughan.[1] It is located in front of the American Family Field stadium west of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.

Description[edit]

The sculpture depicts Hank Aaron, a member of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, in a batting stance. The figure wears the uniform of the winners of the 1957 World Series: long socks, loose-fitting knee-length pants, a button-front short-sleeved jersey and a cap. The sculpture was dedicated on April 5, 2001.[1]
