In September 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Monuments Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will spotlight one of the nearly 50,000 National Monuments or Memorials across the United States. In addition, we’ll feature a wide range of other tributes—from statues honoring heroes and athletes to memorials recognizing outstanding citizens and many other categories. Today the post is on CASEY.
Yesterday I shared that a complete list of the nation’s monuments and statues exists in a document called National Monument Audit. In addition, I reported that in addition to that study there are countless other statues and monuments adorning city parks and college campuses. For six years I lived in Rock Hill SC and when I first moved there I was impressed with the city’s vision. One of those aspirations was to reinvent itself often using sculptures. That is how Cherry Park became home to a 14-foot-high statute of “Casey Comes to Bat“

September 2-Casey Comes to Bat
Casey has been sitting in Cherry Park since 1992. That was the same year our family moved there. He was originally on a one-year lease but the city fell in love with him and raised over $200,000 to buy him from the artist Mark Lundeen. Lundeen has statues and sculptures all over the country.
