The 2013 All-Star Game takes place at Citi Field in Flushing, New York. As has become tradition, statues were placed all around the host city representing each team in the league. This year, on the tenth anniversary of the first statues and the fifth anniversary of Statue of Liberty replicas all across New York City, Major League Baseball chose apples as an homage to the Mets' famous Home Run Apple (and considering that New York's nickname is the Big Apple, of course,). As part of "Apples On Parade," apple statues were placed all around New York CIty (with all but one in Manhattan), and after a long trek, pictures were taken of all 35. Without any further ado, here are the All-Star Game Apples!
